Freshwater makes up about 2.5% of the total water on Earth, while saltwater makes up about 97.5%.
Approximately 71% of the Earth's surface is covered in water. However, water only makes up about 0.02% of the Earth's total mass.
About 2.5% of the Earth's water is freshwater, with the majority being held in glaciers and ice caps. Of that 2.5%, only about 1% is easily accessible for human use, the rest being trapped in groundwater or too saline for consumption.
Less than 1 percent of Earth's water is ready for use by humans. Earth is approximately 71 percent water but of all this water only about 2.5 percent is fresh water with the rest being salt water and thus not fit for human consumption. Of the 2.5 percent fresh water the majority of this is frozen in the polar icecaps, present in soil moisture or deep underground where it is out of reach.
Approximately 1% of the Earth's water is accessible as freshwater for human use in the form of rivers, lakes, groundwater, and ice caps. The majority of Earth's water is saline and found in the oceans.
71% is covered by saline water

Approximately 0.3% of the Earth's total water supply is fresh liquid water available for human consumption and use. This freshwater is found in rivers, lakes, and groundwater sources. The majority of Earth's water is saline and found in oceans and seas.
Saline is basically water with common salt (Sodium Chloride) added. Therefore - 1 litre of saline has 0.18 percent salt.
To make a 9 percent saline solution, start by preparing a 100 percent salt solution. With a bottle of 100 percent salt water, take 9 percent and dilute with distilled water to make a 9 percent saline solution.
Fresh water reserves constitute about 2.5-2.75% of the total water on Earth.
Seventy two percent of the Earth's surface is salt water. No other planet besides Earth is known to have an ocean.
Approximately 0.3% of all water on Earth is freshwater available for use by all living things, including humans, animals, and plants. The majority of Earth's water is saline and found in oceans and seas, not suitable for consumption by most living organisms.
Freshwater makes up about 2.5% of the total water on Earth, while saltwater makes up about 97.5%.
"Okeanos (Oceanus) in Greek) is a major body of saline water, and a principal component of the hydrosphere. Approximately 71% of the Earth's surface (an area of some 361 million square kilometers) is covered by ocean"- Ocean; WikipediaBy this estimate, Earth is approximately 508.45 million square kilometers..71x = 361x = 508.45510,072,000 km squared, total. About 30 percent land About 70 percent water See link for more information.
The Pacific Ocean contains about 50.1% of the Earth's water. It is the largest and deepest ocean on Earth, holding a significant portion of the planet's total water volume.
Approximately 71% of the Earth's surface is covered in water. However, water only makes up about 0.02% of the Earth's total mass.
