Ok, then retards. Since the solar winds blew away the atmosphere on Mars, how much water is left above the surface there?

Read the first paragraph in my profile. It's a perfect description of some of the typical Y!A answerers. If you need evidence, then it's right here before your eyes.

It depends on the evaporation rates of the water that still exist after the solar winds have blown away the present atmosphere. As the water evaporates a new atmosphere will be forming from not only evaporation but also from plant life in the waters of the Earth,
The real question should be how long will the water on earth remain, and at what evaporation rate will the new atmosphere be blown away by solar winds?
One of The variables in this is will all the atmosphere be blown away at once, or gradually? And how this would affect the evaporation rate of the liquids on earth.
So as you see you will loose all liquid it will dissipate and be blown away by solar winds.
Again you will have to factor in the water will be deposited back on this planet from passing comets etc. And will the solar winds be able to keep up with the new deposits of space ice debris
I'm sure someone will be able to come up with an algorithm for the evaporation rate at a certain temperature and they will be able to make a more precise answer.

Must of the water on earth that didn't evaporate away by the extrema heat would be locked up under the soil surface as ice. This would more than likely would change the shape. the size, and surface of the earth as well.

NONE, it would turn to ice, and become an asteroid,comet, or other space debris headed on a collision course with another sphere in space.

Well, for starters, there wouldn't be any people left on the planet to care, so the answer doesn't really matter.
Secondly, I always hated word problems that had no bearing on reality!

none for both

They haven't yet in a few hundred million years, so speculation is useless.
