A thin thin layer


Do what thou wilt.

Just saw this on boing boing, it's a graphic illustration showing the size of the earth compared to the size of all the water and all the air on earth, if you collected them up into a sphere. Ain't much.


"Dan Phiffer found this image on a message board (picture credit to Adam Nieman and the Science Photo Library), and by his calculations, he says it's accurate.

Left: All the water in the world (1.4087 billion cubic kilometres of it) including sea water, ice, lakes, rivers, ground water, clouds, etc. Right: All the air in the atmosphere (5140 trillion tonnes of it) gathered into a ball at sea-level density. Shown on the same scale as the Earth."
