Earth materials vary in their capacity to hold water due to differences in their porosity and permeability. Porosity refers to the amount of pore space within a material, while permeability describes how easily water can flow through it. Materials with high porosity and permeability, such as sand and gravel, can hold more water compared to materials with low porosity and permeability, such as clay and bedrock.
Brazil, Russia, Canada, and Indonesia hold half of the Earth's fresh water resources.
Earth has gravity which creates a gravitational pull, allowing it to hold water on its surface. The force of gravity is strong enough to keep water molecules from floating off into space, ensuring that water remains on Earth's surface. Additionally, the planet's atmosphere helps maintain suitable conditions for water to exist in its liquid form.
The major source of water on Earth is the oceans, which hold about 97% of the planet's water. Other sources include rivers, lakes, glaciers, and groundwater.
Groundwater is stored beneath the Earth's surface in aquifers, which are underground layers of rock or sediment that hold water. Aquifers can be found at various depths below the ground, with some closer to the surface and others much deeper. Groundwater is an important source of fresh water for drinking, agriculture, and other human uses.
Almost all of the water on Earth is found in the oceans, which hold about 97% of the planet's water. The remaining water is in the form of freshwater lakes, rivers, and underground water sources.
All of Earth's water are found everywhere. The main place are water bodies, which are rivers, lakes, oceans, seas and reservoirs. However, the clouds also hold some of Earth's water. We, in our bodies, also hold Earth's water. Our water pipes, toilet bowls, drains and many many other places which you can think of will hold Earth's water too, so this question is very subjective.
Any material electrically separated from ground will hold a static charge, even the human body, but only some materials can genate a static sharge in the first place by friction.Run a clear bic ballpoint pen over your hair then hold it close to a fine dribble of water from the tap. It will bend the water because of its static charge. Once the water touches the pen, the charge escapes through the water, up into the tap and then into the earth via the pipes. Note only some plastics generate a static charge in this way.I believe that some materials hold a negative static charge, while others (glass?) hold a positive charge. Not sure though.
Yes, some materials hold onto electrons more tightly than others. This property is known as electron affinity, and materials with higher electron affinities tend to hold onto electrons more strongly when charged by rubbing. Materials like rubber or wool have higher electron affinities compared to materials like silk or glass.

Materials such as sponges, towels, and paper towels are known to soak up water due to their high absorbency. These materials contain tiny pores or spaces that can trap and hold water molecules.
Earth is the only one we know of so far :)

Materials that are porous, that is, that have pores or open areas within the material where gases or liquids can enter, will absorb and hold water as well as other materials. A good example is a sponge, which absorbs water through pores or openings and holds it inside.
