The earth is 66% water and 33% land. You could also say the earth is 100% land that is 66% flooded.

Roughly 70% of the Earth's SURFACE is covered by water; the remainder of its surface is covered by mountains, volcanoes, deserts, plains, and valleys.
Assuming that all water "on" Earth is counted in the Earth's mass (of which it is), 70% of the Earth itself is water. The other 30% of it is land.
