About 71% percent of the Earth's surface is covered by water.
Explanation:
Water covers nearly 71% of the Earth's surface. Oceans hold nearly 96.5% of the water, but it is not potable due to its salt content. Potable water is in the air as water vapor, in rivers and lakes, and the glaciers and underground water.
Water is called the elixir of life. The presence of abundant water is the reason life thrives on our planet and that is why the Earth is called as the Living Planet or the Blue Planet.
Water is the most important natural resource as it is essential for the origin, existence and evolution of all life forms. Water occurs naturally on Earth, the only inorganic liquid to do so.
