Can someone pls help

Answer 1

I understand that you're looking for an estimate of the percentage of the Earth's surface covered by water. The Earth's surface is approximately 71% covered by water. If you need a specific number within that range, you could use 71% as your estimate.

Answer 2

Approximately 71% of the Earth's surface is covered in water. This consists of oceans, seas, lakes, rivers, and other bodies of water. About 97% of this water is saline, found in the oceans, and the remaining 3% is freshwater, which includes ice caps, glaciers, groundwater, and surface water in lakes and rivers. Of the freshwater, only a fraction is easily accessible for human use.
