It is known that the Earth's surface is covered by 70% water as a fact. This tells us that the ratio of water is to land is 7:3, without referring to a world map.
The water:land ratio is about 70:30
About 70% water, 30% land. Since we are talking about total land mass and total water mass, the amount of water on the Earth is about 3% of total land mass. People seem to forget about the rest of the soil under the ground to the core. I will get a related link for this question at a later time.
Water has a larger surface area on the earth. Land has a greater mass.
theres is more water
The Earth's surface is approximately 29% land and 71% water. This means that land covers about one-third of the Earth's surface, while water covers the majority.
The total land area of the earth is 148,300,000 sq km. 30% of the world is land and 70% is water.
The sea to land ratio is approximately 71% to 29%. This means that about 71% of the Earth's surface is covered by oceans, while approximately 29% is covered by land.
Water covers a far larger area than land
There is more water on Earth than land (surface area). Water covers nearly 71% of the Earth's surface. While Earth's surface is mostly water, Earth is nearly all rock. Just 0.5% of the planet by weight is water. -Thong Tran
Earth. Scientist were almost about to call earth "Water" instead. The earth is the watery planet because it is has 2/3 of the ratio water/land. Hoped that Helped!!
There is more water than land. Answer There is quite a bit more sea than land, and an approximate ratio would be 2/3 sea and 1/3 land.
