Ocean waters get around 77% of the precipitation, while the land gets about 23% of the precipitation. This is due to the fact that the oceans have 96.5% of the water in the world, so most of the evaporation is above them, but that also leads to precipitation over the land, so the percentage of water compared to the percentage of precipitation is not the same.
