Earth's Water Volume Ratio

This page illustrates the ratio of the total volume of water on Earth compared to the volume of the Earth itself.

Earth

100%

Water

0.123%

The volume of the Earth is calculated using the formula V = 4/3 * π * r³ where r is the radius of the Earth. The Earth's radius is approximately 6,371 kilometers, giving it a volume of about 1.08321 × 1012 cubic kilometers.

The total volume of water on Earth is estimated to be about 1.332 billion cubic kilometers. Comparing these volumes, the water volume constitutes about 0.123% of the Earth's total volume.
