Not quite. Both are large bodies of standing water. But seas contain salt water and are connected via calm waters to the oceans. Lakes, on the other hand, are generally filled with fresh water and connect to the oceans (or seas) via running streams. There are exceptions to these general rules, the obvious of which is the Great Salt Lake in Utah, USA.
