Reply	adrianj says: From the Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_vapor The annual mean global concentration of water vapor would yield about 25 mm of liquid water over the entire surface of the Earth if it were to instantly condense. However, the mean annual precipitation for the planet is about 1 meter, which indicates a rapid turnover of water in the air. (no votes) Tags: weather, environment, planetearth.
