It is bounded by the Bering Strait and the Arctic Ocean in the north, Antarctica in the south and the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean to form the waters surrounding the Antarctic continent, and is divided by the line between Cape Horn (69°55 W longitude) and the Antarctic Peninsula (61°12 W longitude) at the southern tip of South America in the southeast, and the line between the Torres Strait and Cape York, Australia in the southwest, from the northern end of the Strait of Malacca along the southern shores of Sumatra, Java and the Nusa Tenggara Islands to Buji on the southern coast of the island of New Guinea, and the meridian from the southeastern corner of Tasmania to the Antarctic continent (146°51 E) dividing it from the Indian Ocean.

The outline of the Pacific Ocean is approximately oval. From the Bering Strait in the north to the Ross Ice Barrier on the northern edge of the Antarctic continent, it spans 135 degrees of latitude from north to south, and has a maximum length of 10,000 kilometers from north to south.

    From Panama in South America to the Malay Peninsula in Asia, the east spans 180 degrees of longitude from east to west, and the maximum width from east to west is 10,000 kilometers. It covers an area of 100 million square kilometers, accounting for more than 1.3 of the world's ocean area and the earth's surface area, and 1.5 larger than the total land area of the earth, which can be called the world's largest ocean. The average depth of the Pacific Ocean (including marginal seas) is about 4,000 meters, which is more than 300 meters deeper than the average depth of the world's oceans.

    The ocean floor area with a water depth of more than 3,000 meters in the Pacific Ocean accounts for more than 50 of the ocean floor area with a water depth of more than 5,000 meters, and there are 33 ocean trenches with a water depth of more than 6,000 meters in the world's oceans, and there are 26 in the Pacific Ocean, of which the deep ocean trenches with a water depth of more than 10,000 meters are all in the Pacific Ocean. The total volume of seawater in the Pacific Ocean is more than 700 million cubic kilometers, accounting for about 53 percent of the world's total ocean water, making it the largest ocean.
