As a follow-up to this, even though water makes up 70% of the Earth's surface, it's only 0.02% of the Earth's mass.

I might have messed it up, but as a follow up to your follow up, I think the depth of the ocean is comparable to the width of a single human hair compared to the head.

If you inflate a 18cm diameter head to the size of our planet, a 75um hair would be about 5km wide - which is about the average depth of our oceans.

It's one hair, not a whole head of hair!
