Water is a tasteless and odorless liquid that is vital for all life and makes up 71% of the Earth's surface. It plays an important economic role, with 70% of freshwater used for agriculture and transport of goods by boat. Water is widely used for industrial processes, cooking, washing, sports and entertainment. It is a polar compound that is liquid between 0-100 degrees Celsius and is described as the "universal solvent" for its ability to dissolve many substances. Drinking water is made potable through filtration, distillation or other treatments, while water for bathing needs disinfection to be safe. Liquid water is also present on other planets like Mars and in oceans within moons like Enceladus
