60%
The human body is composed of about 60% water. This means that for every 100g of our body weight, 60g is water. The percentage of water in the human body decreases steadily with age. A newborn baby is composed of more than 75% water.
Water is a transparent, tasteless, odorless, and nearly colorless chemical substance, which is the main constituent of Earth's streams, lakes, and oceans, and the fluids of most living organisms.
