How much of Planet Earth has been explored ?

[New England]

I recall a few years ago a stat that we'd explored more of Mars than we had earth.

Either that's now not true, or it's essentially because of deep oceans, and them not being present on Mars meaning satellites have explored more.

explored?

whoever told you that is foolish.

Ok.

It was a stat, so perhaps explored wasn't the word, but scanned, imaged or something...

It's ambiguous depending on your definition of explored.

What's your correction or answer then?

that humans are infinitely more familiar with our own planet than one so far away.

that humans are infinitely more familiar with our own planet than one so far away.

Meaning and based on what precisely? That's even more ambiguous.

We've satellite imaged most of Mars I believe, to which we haven't...Earths, largely due to it's oceans.

657 NEW ISLANDS discovered just last year. Hell no we haven't explored the whole world yet. Whoever says yes are foolish to think...

Less than 1% of the seafloor has been explored.

There are some pretty crazy creatures living miles below the surface of our oceans:

in this case i prefer the term broad. the meaning of what i said isn't ambiguous.

we're quantifying the "level of exploration" on mars and earth. you seem to think mars is more explored than earth, which is bopkiss. maybe i'm misinterpreting things.

the oceans are mapped in their entirety with sonar to a greater degree than the surface of mars is known to man.

human's haven't even been to mars. murrica will probably make it eventually, though i'll probably be dead.

i don't even understand why there's a need for a discussion.

yes, there are deep parts of the ocean which are "unexplored," but that doesn't mean that our own planet is less known to us than a planet that is 35 million miles away.
