Salinity means. How much salt dissolved in it. Below 5ppt called fresh (mitha) and 5 to 35 ppt sea ka hota h. Please convert it in%.

The average salinity of sea water is 35 g/L (grams per thousand) about 35 parts per thousand.

In the open ocean away from land the salt content (or salinity) of the seawater tends to range between 30 and 35 ppt (parts per thousand). This is equivalent to 3.0 to 3.5 % (or parts per hundred).

Salinity is the measure of all the salts dissolved in water. Salinity is usually measured in parts per thousand (ppt or).
The average ocean salinity is 35 ppt and the average river water salinity is 0.5 ppt or less. This means that in every kilogram (1000 grams) of seawater, 35 grams are salt.

It is true and the most salty sea in the world is 'dead sea' which has 29 percent of salt present in it.

Seawater or salt water is water from a sea or ocean. On average, seawater in the world's oceans has a salinity of about 3.5% (35 g/L, or 599 mM). This means that every kilogram (roughly one litre by volume) of seawater has approximately 35 grams of dissolved salts (predominantly sodium (Na+
) and chloride (Cl-) ions)
) and chloride (Cl-) ions)
