There are almost 7 billion people living on the Earth.
About 25% of the Earth’s surface is covered with land,
while about 75% is covered by oceans. The Earth’s
temperature, weather, atmosphere, and many other

streams, lakes, and even an ocean. Today, the only water on
Mars is either frozen in the polar caps or underground.
