Question

why the earth is known as Water planet?

Answer 1

The earth is known as Water planet because the 1/4 part of the earth is cover with water

Answer 2

Almost 75% of Earth is covered by water in the form of a liquid also in the form of frozen state. Therefore, Earth is known as a watery planet.

Earth is legitimately called a water-world: far more than half of our planet is covered in water. There's also water underground, in the atmosphere, and in rivers as well. Mutually, all of this water forms Earth's hydrosphere.

• Scientists when viewed from space, had concluded that our planet resembles a blue marble.
• That’s because the ocean covers 71 percent of Earth’s surface. The ocean is however a major component of the hydrosphere, and it plays an vital role in Earth’s water cycle.
• Over 96 percent of Earth’s water is present in the ocean.
• As water evaporates from the ocean, it is transferred into the atmosphere, where it falls back to Earth as rainfall.
• Most of this precipitation falls over the ocean, but few occurs over land.
• The water that falls over land in the form of snow and rain has many fates: Some is absorbed into the ground and taken up by plants, like trees, and some flows into rivers and streams that eventually empty back into the ocean
