Answer:

97% of Earth's water is in ocean.

Step-by-step explanation:

Oceans on Earth covers more than 70% of surface. About 97% of water on earth is in the oceans. The remaining tiny percentage is in form of glaciers and ice caps. Out of all this water, only less than one percent is fresh water.

Very little percentage is present as water vapor in the atmosphere. Water is the precious thing on Earth, in spite of the amount existing which cannot be used for consuming purpose. Let us all understand the importance of water and use very effectively.
