I love the ocean I have always found it mysterious and peaceful
yea the ocean is a body of saline water that composes much of the planet's hydrosphere
I wonder how much of the planet is covered with ocean?
saline water covers approximately 71% of the Earth's surface and 90% of the earth's bioshpere.
I had no idea it was that much, you know a lot about this I can tell
The ocean is one of the major conventional divisions of the world ocean
That is interesting what else can you tell me about the ocean?

As the world ocean is the principal component of Earth's hydrosphere, it is integral to life, forms part of the carbon cycle, and influences climate and weather patterns. The World Ocean is the habitat of 230,000 known species, but because much of it is unexplored, the number of species that exist in the ocean is much larger, possibly over two million. The origin of Earth's oceans is unknown; oceans are thought to have formed in the Hadean eon and may have been the impetus
glaciers, and polar ice caps 2.4%, and other land surface water such as rivers, lakes, and ponds 0.6%. Additionally, a minute amount of the Earth's water is contained within biological bodies and manufactured products.

An ocean is a major body of saline water, and a principal component of the hydrosphere. Approximately 71% of the Earth's surface (an area of some 361 million square kilometers) is covered by ocean, a continuous body of water that is customarily divided
