    Water

    Water is a transparent fluid that makes up the world's streams, lakes, oceans and rain. It is the major constituent of fluids in living things. A water molecule contains one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms connected by covalent bonds. Water exists as a liquid at standard temperature and pressure but also as a solid (ice) and gas (water vapor) on Earth. It covers 71% of the Earth's surface, with 96.5% found in oceans and seas, 1.7% in groundwater, 1.7% in glaciers and ice sheets, and small amounts in other bodies and air vapor. Only 2.5% of Earth's water is freshwater.

    Water is a transparent fluid which forms the world's streams, lakes, oceans and rain, and is the

    major constituent of the fluids of living things. As a chemical compound, a water


    molecule contains one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms that are connected by covalent bonds.
    Water is a liquid at standard ambient temperature and pressure, but it often co-exists
    on Earth with its solid state, ice; and gaseous state,steam (water vapor). It also exists
    as snow, fog, dew and cloud
    Water covers 71% of the Earth's surface.[1] It is vital for all known forms of life. On Earth, 96.5% of
    the planet's water is found in seas and oceans, 1.7% in groundwater, 1.7% in glaciers and the ice
    caps of Antarctica and Greenland, a small fraction in other large water bodies, and 0.001% in
    the air as vapor, clouds (formed of solid and liquid water particles suspended in air),
    and precipitation.[2][3] Only 2.5% of the Earth's water is freshwater, and 98.8% of that water is in
    ice and groundwater. Less than 0.3% of all freshwater is in rivers, lakes, and the atmosphere,
    and an even smaller amount of the Earth's freshwater (0.003%) is contained within biological
    bodies and manufactured products
