All of Earth's Water

But On the bright side, at least now it's easier to get to the TItanic.

Fascinating. Nice find.
I would like to see the ball subdivided into fresh water and salt water. I think that would have more visual impact with reference to the limited resources on the planet.

via the link..
here are a couple of graphs showing distribution..

All the water and all the air. I'm not sure whether the air is represented as-is, ie a sliding scale of density, or whether it's all been compressed to 1 atmosphere. Either way, it weighs 5140 trillion tons.

The average mass of the atmosphere is about 5 quadrillion (5×1015) tonnes or 1/1,200,000 the mass of Earth. According to the American National Center for Atmospheric Research, "The total mean mass of the atmosphere is 5.1480×1018 kg with an annual range due to water vapor of 1.2 or 1.5×1015 kg depending on whether surface pressure or water vapor data are used; somewhat smaller than the previous estimate. The mean mass of water vapor is estimated as 1.27×1016 kg and the dry air mass as 5.1352 ±0.0003×1018 kg."

Is Al Gore behind this one too...?

I thought Al Gore invented the Earth.

This represents the Al's Gas. . .
