Covering approximately 63 million square miles, the Pacific Ocean occupies more than 30% of Earth’s entire surface.

Bonus fact: The Pacific is also home to the Mariana Trench, where the deepest known point in the ocean plunges nearly 36,000 feet below sea level—deep enough to completely submerge Mount Everest with more than a mile of water above its summit!
