How much 🌊water🌊 is on the Earth? 🌎

✨Aiden✨

Most of the Earth's surface is covered in water! Over 96% of that water is ocean water. But other water sits in lakes, rivers, glaciers, and even underground. The U.S. Geological Survey says there are about 332 million cubic miles (1.3 billion cubic km) of water on the planet!! 💧💧

Could you have more stories on political matters? Adults never tell us what’s going on because they think we’re too young.

Jasmine

Hi, Jasmine. News-O-Matic works hard to bring real news to our readers, including political stories. I promise we will keep sharing news stories about important political events happening around the world. Thanks for telling me what kinds of articles you're interested in!

Russell Kahn

What is the newest news about dogs?

Rebekah

There is big news about dogs! The Westminster Dog Show ended on May 14! Did you read the News-O-Matic article about it? It's called "Poodle Takes Top Prize!" 🐕

Russell Kahn

Hi, Russ! I just read your story about the WNBA and I just loved it. You know, my sister is in basketball and I think she wants to be just like Caitlin Clark when she grows up.

Alaina😎!

Hi, Alaina! I am so happy that you loved that article. Caitlin Clark is a hard worker, and it sounds like your sister is a hard worker too! 🏀

Russell Kahn

Do you think you could have more news about the state of Mississippi? It would mean a lot for me because it's my home state!

Carter

YES! Absolutely, we can include more news stories about Mississippi. A lot of News-O-Matic readers are in that southern state. What are some recent events that have been going on in Mississippi?

Hi, Russ! Can you make another wacky article please!?!? They are my FAVORITE. I really like the ones with the Met Gala -- if that is how you spell it lol. Thanks!

Hi, Hayley! Yes, I promise we will keep making Wacky Week articles!! I'm so glad you enjoy them. (And yes, you spelled the Met Gala correctly!)

Hey, Russ. How do you manage to get hold of information, videos, games, and interviews so quickly?

Hi Russ, can you add more articles about Ethiopia? It's my home country.

Befker

Sure thing, Befker! We recently wrote an article about the festival of Timket in Ethiopia. 🇪🇹 What else should we write about?

I saw the northern lights on Sunday night.

How cool, June! I didn't get the chance to see them, but I loved seeing all of the pictures of the northern lights! What was your experience like?

Hi, Russ the king. How do you get all of you ideas so fast? You're like a cheetah.

Hi. I'm Jackie, and I've been wondering: how old are gummy bears?

Jillian

Hi, Jackie! Gummy bears were invented by a German candy-maker named Hans Riegel in 1922. That means the treats are more than 100 years old! Are you a fan? 🍬🧸

Russell Kahn

Hi, Russ. I liked the book about the Mammoth machine. Can you make more books like that?

Trevor

Hi, Trevor! I liked learning about that carbon capture machine too! I'm excited about how it may help our world. We will definitely keep sharing news about technology and the environment. I'm curious, what do you find most interesting about stories like this?

Russell Kahn

Hey Russ! I was wondering if you could make a full-on article about pollen! Why, you may ask? I am asking because recently my eye looked beaten but really it was because of pollen! Please make an article about pollen and what pollen could do.

Cristian

That's a great idea for an article, Cristian! After all, May is National Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month. Will you tell us more about your allergies? Maybe you can help us write the story! If you want to share more, ask a parent or teacher to email ask@newsomatic.org.

Russell Kahn

Dear Russ. I love News-O-Matic. It's the best thing to learn stuff on. Cold you do more stuff on Fortnite pls because lots of my friends play it in my class. That's it. Bye for now Russ.

Andrew M

Thanks for your kind words, Andrew! What kind of story should we write about Fortnite? If there is something new going on, please let me know! Take it easy,

Russell Kahn

Hey, Russ. I was reading about TikTok getting banned! To be honest it's not really fair. I think TikTok should stay. I don't use TikTok but a lot of people are upset like my sister. What do you think, Russ?

Aubrey

Thanks for sharing your opinion on the TikTok situation, Aubrey. I understand that the app means a lot to millions of people. I'm not sure what the government will do. But I promise to keep you informed!
