What is the definition of an ocean?

An ocean is a vast body of water that covers nearly three-fourths of the Earth's surface. It is the home to an immense variety of plant and animal life, as well as to some of the most beautiful and majestic scenery on the planet.

The word "ocean" comes from the Greek word for "sea," which was first used by Homer in his epic poem The Odyssey. In this classic work of literature, the sea is often used as a symbol for the dangers and uncertainties of life.

Today, we use the word "ocean" to refer to any large body of salt water, including both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. These massive bodies of water are so vast that they seem to have no end. They are also incredibly deep, with an average depth of more than two miles.
