I hope the owner of the rights does not raise an issue with the use of this photograph. It's posting, if anything, has sparked a most elegant analysis of its accuracy, thus highlighting the creativity involved in its design.

Did the math seems like these figures are approximations at best. Why is the ice still represented on the North Pole if it is indeed included in the calculations and was the compression of these fluids calculated at different densities as they compressed at lower altitudes and depressed their substrates? It would seem not. The Earth's atmosphere bulges near the Equator this does not seem to be taken into account either. While removing water would allow the Earth's surface to rebound in a measurable way that does not seem to be taken into account in the dry Earth image allowing for a more accurate visual comparison. Seasonal changes in atmospheric density due to temperature and precipitation may not have been totally balanced by hemispheric seasonal opposition. Finally why were France, Germany and Eastern Europe dissed in this manner when these spheres could have been represented elsewhere just as efficiently? Good job not completely accurate needs more but I can appreciate the effort.

This is great.
Another perspective is that the diameter of the earth is about 12,742 km, the "air" globe diameter is about 2,000 km;

thus the diameter of the air-globe is about 15% of that of the earth at a great circle: 2,000/12,742= 15%
or(just to approximate the correct sizing for the diagram there would about 12 air globes across the equator)

Imagery talks to emotion in a different way than phono-serial abstract linguistic coding. Images like this really do communicate information with people, allowing them perspectives they have never had before. One of those people is going to come up wit an idea that will save both planet and people.

A very cool anyalysis, well done. In regard to the amount of water contained in Earths atmopshere I wanted to mention a technology that many people aren't aware of yet. It is the atmospheric water generator technology where the systems harvest fresh water from air.

It pretty cool if you want to check it out. You can go to this website to see some of them if you want to. www.internationalwaterfroma...

Another way to visualize this is to imagine being in Spain and seeing the water sphere represented in the left picture. It would be quite a gigantic one, the size of France, Germany, Italy and some Eastern Europe countries combined. it would probably block the most of the visible sky to the North East and be 5 times taller than the altitude at which the shuttle orbits the earth... It would still seem enormous to a human observer on the ground...

interesting question, education occuring within a netwoked context? i have often questioned just that, the dissemination of educational knowledge in a commercial world, this is information that is primary to our self-awarness, but that self-awarness can only be achieved with the apporpriate amount of money, after all it is information existing in the commercial market; however only if you gain this knowledge through the "recommended outlets" ie. college, university. even through non-networked context, textbooks, television programs as you say, they would license an image, article, etc. to whatever medium that is going to be expressing this information, once again the one with the money. to very briefly, and saltily anwser your last question, how can the two support each other?, they won't be able to, not because they can't, but because to those holding the rights to said information, it is more profitable not to.

yeah i know, this is more like loose philosophy than exact science, but a question was asked.

Hey!! please, someone reply this: Ok, we can see earth is bigger than the water, but what about the inside of the earth, it is considered the core of the earth "EARTH" ???? or it is considered as magma or other names?? if that is correct, we need to see the earth ball, the water ball, the air ball, and "the magma, core of the earth or whatever name ball"

I suspect that within the first 24 hours, assuming that all of us remained respectfully within our 10' by 10' quadrants and never touched anyone, we would all be overcome by the overwhelming fumes from our own waste at about the same time that we all began wondering where our next meal would be coming from.

After a week, Texas would be uninhabitable for decades.

I'd like to point out that the earth is POURUS and therefore a lot of the earth's water is trapped in soil moisture and underground aquifers. This pic seems to depict surface water only. It got me thinking, though.

This mixes air and water compared to the total mass of the earth. I would think a better method would be to to take the crust of the earth, say about one mile deep, and roll it into a ball to compare the air and water balls to. After all, we don't live under the earth's crust so there is no point in adding all of that mass in a comparison.

cool, except of course that most people that I know *float* when we get in the pool - a strong indication that humans are NOT denser than water.
