The Pacific Ocean is about 8500 miles (13700 km) long north-to-south. It is a maximum of 12300 miles (19800 km) wide east-to-west. The minimum width is in the north at the Bering Sea, where the Aleutian Islands cross from Alaska to Russia.

The Atlantic Ocean is about 9000 miles (14500 km) long. The width ranges from about 2850 to 4000 miles.

The Indian Ocean is from about 1700 to 5700 miles long (2700 to 9200 km) north-to-south.

It is a minimum at the east (Africa) and a maximum south of the Arabian Sea. It is up to 6200 miles (10000 km) wide.

The Southern Ocean is as little as 180 miles (290 km) north-to-south at the Larsen Ice Shelf, but as much as 1700 miles (2700 km) during the summer at the Ross Ice Shelf.

The Arctic Ocean is a maximum diameter of about 3000 miles (4800 km) at its widest, between Alaska and Norway.
