How big are the oceans in square miles?
139 million square miles
Oceans cover approximately 70.8% or 361 million square kilometers (139 million square miles) of Earth’s surface (Table 8o-1) with a volume of about 1370 million cubic kilometers (329 million cubic miles). The average depth of these extensive bodies of sea water is about 3.8 kilometers (2.4 miles).

How many square miles is the Pacific Ocean?
63.8 million mi²Pacific Ocean / Area
Here is our first view of the Pacific Ocean, the world’s largest ocean, encompassing around one-third of the Earth’s surface, approximately 64 million square miles – it is significantly larger than Earth’s entire landmass, and in the 1800s much of it was uncharted.
Is the depth of the ocean infinite?
Water is sufficiently deep that the bottom surface may be assumed infinite. This is a common assumption because so much of the ocean is deep compared to the typical wavelengths of ocean swells.
How many square miles is the Earth?
196.9 million mi²Earth / Surface area
Who owns the Atlantic Ocean?
All of us own the oceans, and yet none of us do. It’s a conundrum. For centuries, beginning with the Age of Exploration when ships were developed that could convey humans across the globe, the governments that represent people like you, the oceans’ owner, agreed that no one owned the oceans.
How many square miles is the US?
3.797 million mi²United States / Area
Why is only 5 of the ocean discovered?
In short, we’ve only explored 5 percent of the oceans, because exploring the depths is so treacherous and difficult.
How many square miles is the US land?
What planet is full of water?
But Earth is the only known planet (or moon) to have consistent, stable bodies of liquid water on its surface. In our solar system, Earth orbits around the sun in an area called the habitable zone.
