 All water on earth visualised in a bubble 😵‍💫

 Used for just Bitcoin transactions I hope 🤙 
 Wow 😮 
 How tall is that bubble?

Can you compare this bubble to the meatball if all humans were turned into one? 
 Nah, this meat ball fits into central park, so they say. Wouldn't see it here. 
 Cool.

So there’s plenty of water. 
 I made the calculation in another reply to the original post: about 1km in diameter. 
 it doesn't look right hmm 
 it looks too little 
 Only because of bitcoin boiling it all away 
 This comment 👌  
 Shows how thin our crust is 
 Wonder if thats accurate 
 Take this flat-earthers. Even the water on the suface forms a sphere to despite you. 
 Actually, this is a computer simulation 
 Is this true? Holy shit 
 True ye ,and it all came to earth from meteor impacts all water on earth is extraterrestrial origin  
 Such visuals are striking but somewhat misleading because the human mind has difficulties processing any large data, notably linear to surface to volume ratios.  
For reference, if you would have a sphere of all humans on earth, say for ease 10 billion humans, weighing on average 65kg (about 65l or about 0.065m3), how big would the sphere be?

Volume of a sphere V=4/3*π*r^3

V=10*10^9 * 0.065=650000000m3
r=3√(V*3/(4π))=537m radius, so about just 1km in diameter 🤔 
 Come on, it seems a bit too small to be true… 
 Come on...that can't be right.
