What is the difference between an ocean and a sea? What is the difference between an ocean and a sea? An ocean is a vast body of

water encompassing 70% of Earth, whereas a sea refers specifically to a large, inland, saline body of water. Seas are generally smaller than an ocean and tend to be partially enclosed by land or large, inland, saline water bodies. The term sea is used to describe the global, interconnected water body covering 70% of Earth's surface, whereas oceans refer to the individual basins within this global sea. There is no difference, just a different term for the same physical feature.

The North Frigid Zone, between the North Pole at 90° N and the Arctic Circle at 66° 33' N, covers 4.12% of Earth's surface.

The North Temperate Zone, between the Arctic Circle at 66° 33' N and the Tropic of Cancer at 23° 27' N, covers 25.99% of Earth's surface.

The Torrid Zone, between the Tropic of Cancer at 23° 27' N and the Tropic of Capricorn at 23° 27' S, covers 39.78% of Earth's surface.

The South Temperate Zone, between the Tropic of Capricorn at 23° 27' S and the Antarctic Circle at 66° 33' S, covers 25.99% of Earth's surface.

The South Frigid Zone, from the Antarctic Circle at 66° 33' S and the South Pole at 90° S, covers 4.12% of Earth's surface.
