What it means
About ninety seven percent of the water on this planet sits in the oceans. Of the small remainder, the bulk is frozen in glaciers and ice caps or held underground, and the fresh surface water in every lake and river on Earth is a rounding error on a rounding error. Gathered into a single ball, all the water on Earth would make a sphere a little under fifteen hundred kilometers across.
The claim comes from U.S. Geological Survey.
