    there’s more water than air (mass-wise).

    Above you, atmosphere scale height is 8 km, with a density of 1.25 kg / m³.

    That makes 10^4 kg of air above your head per m² surface area.

    To get the same mass of water per surface area, it would only have to be about 10 m deep. But the ocean is kilometers deep in most places.
