The temperature of he oceans varies as the depth. the salinity and the latitude. The polar seas (high latitude) can reach -2 oC (28.4 oF) while the Persian Gulf (low latitude) as high as 36oC (96.8oF). The average temperature of the ocean surface waters is about 17oC (62.6oF).
The deep ocean is another story. About 90 % of the total volume of ocean is found below the thermocline in the deep ocean. This deep ocean water is between 0-3 oC (32-37.5oF)
As a result the average temperature of all the ocean waters (as a whole) approaches these temperatures.

What planet temperature is closest to the earths?
Mercury has an average surface temperature (67°) closest to the Earths average surface temperature (14°C). The temperature on Mercury varies a lot though - you could argue that Mars is closer in temperature.
What is the daytime surface temperature of the sun?
The average daytime surface temperature at the sun's surface is 9,941 degrees fahrenheit.
What is the average temperature degrees celsius on Uranus?
The average temperature of the surface of Uranus is -224° Celsius.
Average temperature of Jupiter?
The surface temperature of Jupiter is about - 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
What planet has the highest average surface temperature?
LOL i just wanted to answer a question but now that im already here it's VENUS! peace :)
What is the average temperature of the ocean floor?
The average temperature of the ocean's surface is from 30 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit in customary units.
What is temperature of ocean at surface?
The temperature of the ocean at the surface is not constant across all oceans. For example, the Arctic Ocean will have a much colder surface temperature than the Pacific.
What is the ocean surface temperature called?
temperature
What is the temperature in the ocean biome?
The temperature of the ocean is 39 degrees below the surface.
What is the average temperature of a tropical ocean?
The temperature obviously varies considerably from the poles to the equator but the average temperature of the ocean surface waters is about 17 degrees Celsius (62.6 degrees Fahrenheit). (from related link) 20 degrees Fahrenheit
What effect would a long-term rise in the average surface temperature have on the ocean?
The oceans will rise, flooding some coastlines.
What is the average temperature of all oceans?
The temperature obviously varies considerably from the poles to the equator but the average temperature of the ocean surface waters is about 17 degrees Celsius (62.6 degrees Fahrenheit). (from related link) 20 degrees Fahrenheit
What is the ocean temperature in Maui during summer?
Average ocean temperature is about 83 F.
What planet temperature is closest to the earths?

What is the daytime surface temperature of the sun?
The average daytime surface temperature at the sun's surface is 9,941 degrees fahrenheit.
Why is the temperature to freeze the surface of ocean water lower than the temperature needed to freeze the surface of water like Lake Superior?
The ocean water has a high amount of dissolved salts.
