My first thought, no one would shake hands... except for the kind of people you wouldn't want to shake hands with even if you couldn't taste with your hands.
I've thought about this quite a bit. It means you can kind of make a model of a planet by dipping a marble into water. Just the skin of water that clings to it is equivalent to an ocean for that marble-sized planet. Actually, probably even more water than needed to represent an earth-like planet.
It says it represents three things - All water on, in, and above earth, liquid freshwater, and finally freshwater lakes and rivers. So the salt water is part of the first one, the one after has the saltwater removed, and the final has all non-lake and river freshwater removed. Sorry if I'm over explaining or making you think I think you're stupid, I really don't think that, just "over explaining" is kind of how my brain works and now I'm over explaining that. Sorry!
I didn't see the tiny dot on the main image (on my phone) so just read the two smaller dot sizes in the table and applied them to the two dots I could see on the image thank you for over explaining it made me look again properly!

Fun fact: In Norwegian Jellyfish is "Manet", but "manet" also means "kreve", or in english "demand", so there are demands in the ociean.

fun fact - the ocean is a lot smaller than you think, even though it covers more than 71% of the earths surface -

A marble planet would also have, relative to its size, much higher mountains/deeper oceans.

That states it's, uh, fresh water. Where's the salt water?

Have you checked inside your butthole?

The big one, all water. The small one fresh water (clouds). The micro one lakes and rivers
