Planet ocean, clearly, which relates to why the projected 1.5C increase in global average temperature doesn't have to be evenly distributed, with likely ~1C increase for the oceans but a whooping ~3C increase for the land, with catastrophic consequences:

1C * 2/3 + 3C * 1/3 = 1.66C

good point

...Nope.

BOTH of those are 'buried' under a layer of AIR.

The 'atmosphere' is invisible, so it's easy to ignore, but we are all SUBSURFACE dwellers...

After the human race goes extinct the whales can rename the planet "Water."

I have questions. How can "all other countries" account for *half* of the world land surface, but in the visual aid, it looks like they maybe take up a tenth of the circle, and not even 1/4 of what the rest of the land covers? How is the bottom blue ocean bit 43% by area but 90% by volume? Are oceans much more shallow 200 miles from land? I hoped the article would explain, or at least let me ask there, but no luck.

so cool

Let's compromise:
The Blue Planet 😀

And yet Russia feels they need more land than they already have even though they have the most land.

Cool graph.

I've read that the mass of all Oceans is about .02% of the planet. Though water is also common on land and inside the planet, the best name depends on our perspective.. Personally I think of "Human Home Planet", but from space a visitor would probably describe it using water.
