to quote.. "250,000 tons of water sounds like a lot, but to put it into perspective it would fill a: cube 200.08 feet on a side football field including endzones to a height of 138.9 feet official soccer field max size 360x240 feet to a height of 92.6 feet cylinder radius 200 feet would have a height of 63.7 feet cylinder radius 300 feet would have a height of just 8.6 feet cone radius 300 feet would have a height of 85 feet" Yep, Eric has a point - not a lot in itself, but this was emitted from a collision with a 400lb lump of metal and as I understand it didn't do a lot of damage or orbital changes to this comet - but I must say, I love Eric's creativity in helping me visualize how much water that actually is! ..It'd make a small lake or a large pond!!!
Can anyone extrapolate how much water the entire comet would hold? Nice one, Eric! Good calculations... If I'd been more mindful I'l have bothered to do a few sums, but there you go....!
