All the Water on Planet Earth 
Illustration Credit & Copyright: Jack Cook, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Howard Perlman, USGS
Explanation: How much of planet Earth is made of water? Very little, actually. Although oceans of water cover about 70 percent of Earth's surface, these oceans are shallow compared to the Earth's radius. The above illustration shows what would happen is all of the water on or near the surface of the Earth were bunched up into a ball. The radius of this ball would be only about 700 kilometers, less than half the radius of the Earth's Moon, but slightly larger than Saturn's moon Rhea which, like many moons in our outer Solar System, is mostly water ice. How even this much water came to be on the Earth and whether any significant amount is trapped far beneath Earth's surface remain topics of research.Astronomy Picture of the Day.

Ik denk: ik lig hier bij de hooiberg… Het kleine plekje dat ik inneem is zo miniem in vergelijking met overige ruimte, waar ik niet ben en waar ik niets mee te maken heb; en de tijd die mij is gegeven is zo nietig vergeleken met de eeuwigheid, waarin ik er niet was en niet zal zijn…En in dit atoom, in dit mathematische punt, circuleert bloed en werken hersenen en zijn er ook verlangens… Wat afschuwelijk! Wat een onzin!
