you have chosen the incorrect unit of measurement. you recognize, we choose a perfect unit to degree any actual volume. to illustrate, we use kilometer to degree distance between 2 cities, yet use meters or centimeters to particular the gap between 2 gadgets in a room. returned the gap between 2 planets is measured in easy-3 hundred and sixty 5 days. volume of sea water should not be measured in gallons - there isn't any way you're able to have that precise a parent. The parent given by using 'like to help' - 326 million cubic miles is right and appropriate. Jeff M has neglected one billion in his parent. yet his archives, if corrected, - a million.34 billion cubic kilometer - is likewise suitable.
