Not sure where to post this but I found this quite unusual and maybe co-incidental but interesting nevertheless.

Surface area of Earth = 510,072,000 km²

148,940,000 km² land (29.2 %)
361,132,000 km² water (70.8 %)

510,072,000 / 361,072,000 = 1.41266

Square root of 2 = 1.41421

Difference =

1.41421 -
1.41266
----------
0.00155

Probably meaningless but it is late and I am tired.

Actually I went and found this ...



Actual numbers yield this ...

Surface area of Earth = 5.1120e+8 = 511200000

511200000 / Sq rt of 2 = 361472986.54

361,132,000 km² water (70.8 %)

361,472,986.54 -
361,132,000.00
---------------
340,986.54
===============

Error = 0.0009

Less than 1/10th of 1 percent

Interesting and great program here [www.1728.com]
