1) How accurate are/were the calculations for this model? 2) Does this also take into consideration the vast amounts of water found inside the Earth's crust?

It’s very misleading. Now do land down to sea level and see which ball is larger.

For comparison: the earth's surface area is 196 million square miles. There are 320 million cubic miles of water, or enough to cover the surface of the globe to a depth of 1.6 miles. There is a LOT of water on the planet, not a little.

It is hard to trust the science when the Earth is shown rotating to the west.

Wrong. There's a lot more water under the earth than over it.

this is a very nice visualization despite it’s giving an impression there aren’t much water on earth 🥸

looks small, but! - 2/3 of all earth is covered with water - 3.7km is the average depth of the oceans which means that all surface of the earth can be covered with ~ 2.4km of water.

All of Earth's bacteria in a cube

That doesn’t look like very much water!

my brother in Oppenheimer, why are these units linear km
