Water

.Water is a chemical substance that is essential to all known forms of life[citation needed]. It covers 71% of Earth's surface. There are 1.4 billion cubic kilometers (330 million mi³)[1] of it available on Earth. It appears mostly in the oceans (saltwater) and polar ice caps, but it is also present as clouds, rain water, rivers, freshwater aquifers, lakes, airborne vapour and sea ice. Water in these bodies perpetually moves through a cycle of evaporation, precipitation, and runoff to the sea. Clean water is essential to human life. In many parts of the world, it is in short supply. Outside of our planet, a significant quantity of water is thought to exist on the moons Europa and Enceladus.
