We are told Earth is partially covered by water, somewhere between two-thirds to three-fourth's so.
This is one way to answer the question.
This method relies on estimation and fragmentation.
Here's another way to answer and understand the question.
Earth is partially covered by water, totally covered by land, totally covered by air and totally covered by outer space.
This method relies on synthesis, unity consciousness and the basic 6 ways of knowing.
The difference among each of these answers and also the generally-accepted answer above is what “top” is considered to be.
Reviewing the answers:
1. By water partially. Top is considered somewhere close to the flat portion of land where water meets land. Hills and mountains, though they rise above water, are not considered the top.
2. By water partially. Top is considered the current level that is close to the level of land. Top is also considered below the level of land (underground there is water and beneath that water, there is more Earth). Top is also considered in the air, which contains water.
3. By land totally. Land is everywhere, at ground level, underground and under above ground water and under underground water.
4. By air totally. Top is considered above both land and above ground water.
5. By outer space totally. Top is considered that which surrounds Earth. This means Earth is also covered by the galaxy, the universe and the Creator.
6. Simultaneously by water, land, air, intergalactic space, galaxy, universe and the Creator. Earth has many dimensions and exists in many dimensions. In these dimensions, different things are on top.

We need something to clarify everything for us, because we get confused...but if we use the concept of Asili, we will understand that whatever it is they are doing, whatever terms they use, however they come at you, you need to be thinking about what? How is this going to facilitate their power and help them to dominate me? -Marimba Ani
