it is 2 percent of the total volume of atmosphere, therefore 2/100*51,006,560,000,000 cubic metres (m^3) =1.0201312 x10 ^12m^3

What is the sum total of water on Earth and in its atmosphere is called?
Biosphere
How much water vapor is in the stratosphere?
According to the USGS and NOAA, a 1km³ cumulus cloud would weigh about 2.21 billion pounds, or about 1,105 tons (US). The same volume of dry air weighs about 2.22 billion pounds, which is why clouds float. Because it is less dense than air, in truth, it doesn't "weigh" anything. It has volume. If you sucked all the water vapor out of the air and put it in a bucket, though, using the below chart as a guide and the fact that water is 1kg per liter, and one liter of water is 0.1 cubic meters, you'd have 12,900,000,000 liters of water, which is 12.9 trillion kg. (It's enough to cover the earth's 510,072,000 km² surface with about 25mm of water. Because the earth's average rain fall is about 1 meter, you can figure that all of this water vapor is recycled every nine or ten days.) So, to convert that metric to US tons and answer your question, all of that means that there is approximately more than 14.2 billion US tons of water vapor in the atmosphere.

What is the sum total of all water on earth and its atmosphere called?
It is called the Hydrosphere. The hydrosphere is the water on earth such as lakes, rivers, streams, oceans, and clouds in the atmosphere.
What is the argon percentage in Earth's atmosphere?
The percentage of Argon in the atmosphere is 0.93% in volume.(0.934 to be more accurate-pip)The atmosphere is 0.934% argon by volume, so, a lot of argon.The earth's atmosphere has a volume of about 3x1024 m3, which means that there are about 2.8x1022 m3 (5x1012 mi3) of argon in the atmosphere. The density of argon is about 1.77 kg/m3 so there are about 1.58 kg of argon in the atmosphere.
What is the total volume of sea water on earth in cubic miles?
The total volume of the oceans is about 1,347,000,000 cubic kilometres which is 322,280,000 cubic miles.
In which sphere would one find more total oxygen by volume?
atmosphere
Is nitrogen found in the atmosphere?
Yes.It's actually the most abundant gas in the atmosphere( roughly 78% percent of the total volume)
What is the sum total of water on Earth and in its atmosphere is called?
Biosphere
How do you measure sliced zucchini by the cup?
By utilizing the water displacement method = volume of water + sliced zucchini = gross volume. Gross volume - utilized water = total volume sliced zucchini
What is the total volume of earths water?
2/3
Does the volume of water increase when you add a solid?
The water level of the container will rise, and the total volume increases. But the volume of the water itself remains the same.
What volume of water is in the Atmosphere?
3,100 cubic miles (mi3) or 12,900 cubic kilometers (km3)
What kind of word is humid?
Humid is an adjective that describes a high volume of water vapour in the atmosphere.

How does increased evapotranspiration effect the earth?
It would increase the density of sea water as water volume is reduced and salt volume remains unchanged
What is the total volume of salt water on earth?
685,767,231 mi3
What factors affect pressure and density in the atmosphere and oceans?
Pressure in the atmosphere is affected by area and force.Density on the other hand is affected by the mass and volume of water in the ocean.
