All the water in the world (1.4087 billion cubic kilometres of it) and 
all the air in the atmosphere (5140 trillion tonnes of it).

These images depict the total volume of air and water in the world. 
Surprisingly small quanties when you look at them like this! A version 
won first prize in the Concepts category of the Visions of Science 
competition.
