It would use up roughly the same volume, but it'd be a lot more water.
(Much heavier, I suspect, as well.)

#5The height of the sphere isn’t easy to visualize, should over lay height of water over Americas area

It's a sphere, the height is equal to the diameter that you plainly see on the picture.

#7Can’t help but want to build that.
Apparently all the mined gold in the world would fit inside a 5 m diameter sphere.
Spheres are suspicious in hiding weight.

#8Wouldn't a cube be a better choice for visualizing volume? A more complete version would do it alongside with minerals, biomass, etc

Why?

They're comparing the sphere of water to the Earth which is a sphere.
Also it's by the Water Science School, so it doesn't seem your definition of completeness was the intention.
