An ocean is:
"a large body of water surrounded by seas( body of water situated between seas which is open place for every country)

A sea is:
a part of an ocean that is partially surrounded by land. (small body of water situated b/w ocean and land also controlled by countries)


There are only five oceans in the world

1- Pacific Ocean 64,196,000 sq mi (166,266,877 km2)
2 Atlantic Ocean 33,400,000 sq mi (86,505,603 km2)
