Ocean are large masses of waters connecting continents There are three:  The Atlantic, The Indian, and The Pacific with the Pacific being the largest. all smaller bodies of water surrounding islands, inlets, peninsulas, etc. are known as seas or gulfs depending on the site some are even called bays if their small enough.  Size does matter as the Yellow sea would be a straight if it were smaller in size.  FYI it has nothing to do with depth because the Puget sound is over 4000 ft deep and yet it isn't a sea or and ocean.

The Atlantic Ocean is the second-largest ocean, covering approximately one-fifth of the earth's surface. The ocean's name, derived from Greek mythology, means the "Sea of Atlas." The oldest known mention of this name is contained in The Histories of Herodotus around 450 BC (I 202).

the deepest ocean so far known is the pacific ocean. the mariana trench is the deepest point in the ocean that is roughly 10,000 metres depth. isn't that amazing!

if you consider a SEA and OCEAN to be the same, then it is the Pacific Ocean or formerly known as "the south sea(s)".  \n\nif you consider them different linguistically, ( as they are all bodies of water anyway ) then the "Mediterrainean Sea" is the largest sea on record.

Mediterranean Sea\nSouth China Sea \nCoral Sea \nNorth Sea\nIrish Sea\nAdriatic Sea\nAtlantic Ocean\nIndian Ocean\nPacific Ocean\nBest was the Coral Sea - Cairns, North Queensland & the Great Barrier Reef.\nSee it before you die - or it does...\n\nAnd don't do what I did!  All that way & focussing on the reef - I missed the tropical rainforest just inland!

To the ancients, "seven" often meant "many," and before the fifteenth century, the many seas of the world were:\n\n    * the Red Sea\n    * the Mediterranean Sea\n    * the Persian Gulf\n    * the Black Sea\n    * the Adriatic Sea\n    * the Caspian Sea\n    * the Indian Ocean \n\nToday, the world ocean is generally divided into four main oceans:\n\n    * the Arctic Ocean\n    * the Atlantic Ocean\n    * the Indian Ocean\n    * the Pacific Ocean \n\nIn addition, there are numerous smaller seas and gulfs.

Out of the major Oceans, yes the Pacific is the biggest and the Indian Ocean is the smallest but some people have said the Arctic ocean but this isnt one of the major 3 oceans.\nAnd, by the way, that other guys comment about reporting you was unneccessary.
