Detailed explanation-2: -Covering more than 30 percent of the Earth’s surface, the Pacific Ocean is the largest water mass on the planet. With a surface area of more than 155 million square kilometers (60 million square miles), this ocean basin is larger than the landmass of all the continents combined.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Pacific Ocean covers more than 30 percent of the earth’s surface, is the largest water mass on the planet, has a basin bigger than the landmass of all the continents combined, has twice the amount of water as the Atlantic Ocean, and is the planet’s deepest water body.
