Half of Earth with most landmass About 71% of the Earth's surface is covered with water and the remaining 29% is landmass*. If you could theoretically cut the planet in half, with the objective of producing a half with the most landmass possible (and another with the most water possible), where would the cut be? More specifically, where would the centers (in the surface) of both halves be located?
You would have to cut somewhere along this circle:



The only landmass here is New Zealand, eastern Australia, eastern PNG, western North America and some Pacific islands. I'm pretty sure you can tweak it a bit, but that's the basic idea.
Notice that this actually shows less than a half because of the relatively low altitude. If you "zoom out" infinitely you'll get some more Australia and more America in this, but it's still going to be mostly ocean.
