Water covers just over 70% of the Earth's surface and the total volume of water contained on our planet and in the atmosphere is estimated to be 1,386,000,000 cubic kilometres,

Imagine if our planet was a smooth sphere with no deep oceans and high mountains, therefore no dry ground.

How deep would the water be all around the globe?

830 metres / 2.7 kilometres / 4.6 kilometres.
