Oceans make up a significant portion of the Earth's mass primarily because of their vast volume and density. Covering over 70% of the planet's surface, they contain about 1.332 billion cubic kilometers of water, which contributes to both the mass and the gravitational influence of the Earth. Additionally, the ocean's role in regulating the climate, supporting ecosystems, and interacting with the atmosphere further underscores its importance in the Earth's overall mass and systems.
