More water in the air than in the ocean...
Don't confuse yourself. It's all about density..

Re: How does gravity hold the oceans to the globe but not a butterfly?
They call it gravity. It's a description to an

'unseen force'.

To give my answer---MASS! The MASS of an object is

what gives us the 'force' to keep us on the ground.

But the 'force' is what is 'not fully understood'.

I believe since we are electrical, and the Earth

uses magnetism in its structure, we may be like magnets.

I believe from what I read certain electrical activity

affects our bodies. It is blamed for many 'ill' effects

on us. So why would it not be magnetism that holds us

on the ground?

Seems logical to me anyways..IMO
Living has taught me one thing; nothing is certain...except salvation through Jesus Christ!

Gravity theory has no weight, so called gravity is weaker than hot air.

Last i checked...oceans dont have wings.

You are correct sir!

But I think I see where OP is going...allow me to rephrase his question...

How does gravity hold the oceans to the globe but not hydrogen or helium?

Anyone know how that works? Gravity is strong enough to hold water miles deep to a circular object, but a butterfly has no problem resisting it with its tiny wings.
 Quoting: Carl Sagan 78004686


Water weighs 8 pounds per gallon.

How much does a butterfly weigh?
 Quoting: TheGasMan II


A pound of butterflies is same as a pound of iron .....s226

Is there an element lighter than hydrogen?

People have been murdered for asking that question.

Hydrogen and helium are MUCH less dense than water.

Thus they exist at different altitudes.

Water at the bottom as its the heaviest.

Then you have various layers in the atmosphere.

Whic is why they use helium ballons to go to the edge of space.

Its the lightest gas.

Much the same as if you put ordinary air in a glass ball and released it from the ocean floor.

It would rise to its own density level..aka...the surface.

Helium being a very light gas only exists in the ulper layers of the atmosphere.

Which is why helium ballons always end up there...at their own density level.

Is that better?
