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.

There is no difference, just a different term for the same physical feature.
