Q&A

How could a planet have most of its water in the atmosphere?

+0
−0

I am creating a speculative evolution project for school (and partially for leisure) and I need a planet for my organisms to live on. I have a rough idea of what it may be like but I'm no expert in planetology and other planet-related sciences.

My planet has/is:

  • A dense atmosphere
  • Larger than Earth
  • Only 16% of the planet's surface is water
  • Most of the land is covered in thick rainforests
  • 150% more water than Earth
  • Most of the planet's water is in the atmosphere
  • 34% oxygen ratio
  • The water in the atmosphere is water in the form of fog
  • the meridional circumference is 47609.52Km
  • the equatorial circumference is 47632.13Km
  • surface area is 606862704.1Km²

I need advice on how to turn this into a plausible world capable of sustaining life.

Edit: I just realized I had my facts wrong and I had meant to say that there are large amounts of liquid water in the atmosphere. I'm not sure how drastically this changes the situation of my planet. I apologize for the inconvenience.
