The Earth's crust is approximately 1.65 % of the total volume of Earth.
Volume of sphere = 4/3 * pi * r^3
Volume of earth = 4/3 * pi * 6,360^3
Volume of earth (km3) = 1.078x1012
Crust is on average 35 km thick.
Therefore radius of earth without crust = 6,360 - 35 = 6,325 km.
Volume of earth (not including crust) = 4/3 * pi * 6,325^3 = 1.06x1012 km3
Volume of crust = Total volume of earth - Volume of earth (not including crust).
Volume of crust = 1.77x1010 km3
Percentage of earth's total volume taken by crust = (1.77x1010 / 1.06x1012) * 100
Percentage of earth's total volume taken by crust = 1.641 %
What else can I help you with?
What two elements by mass make up the greatest percentage of earths crust?
The two elements that make up the greatest percentage of Earth's crust by mass are oxygen and silicon. Together, they account for about 75% of the crust, with oxygen making up approximately 46% and silicon about 28%. These elements primarily combine to form silicate minerals, which are the most abundant in the Earth's crust.
What makes up the largest percentage of mass on earths crust?
Oxygen is the most abundant element in Earth's crust, making up about 47% of its mass. Silicon is the second most abundant element, comprising approximately 28% of the crust's mass.
Which is called a large mass of igneous rock in earths crust that if exposed at the surface covers an area of at least 100km?

Is the earths crust less than one percent of earths mass?
With a very sizable iron core and a (by comparison) wafer-thin crust, I doubt that the earth's crust even approximates a full percentage point.
Is it true that earths crust contains most of earths mass?
No. The crust contains a small fraction of earth's mass. Most of the mass is contained in the mantle.
What percentage does carbon make up of earths environment?
Carbon makes up approximately 0.03% of Earth's atmosphere and is the fourth most abundant element by mass in the planet's crust.
Which of the compositional layers make up the greatest percentage of Earth's mass?
Continental crust
