The Atlantic Ocean is the largest ocean on Earth

The answer is False.

Explanation

The Pacific Ocean is the largest and deepest ocean on Earth, covering approximately 63.8 million square miles (165.25 million square kilometers) which is about 32% of Earth's total surface area and more than half of the planet's free water. The Atlantic Ocean, on the other hand, covers around 20% of Earth's surface. Fun fact: the Pacific Ocean is so vast that all seven continents could theoretically fit inside it.
