The planet is approximately 71% water and contains (5) five oceans, including the Arctic, Atlantic, Indian, Pacific and Southern.
For many years only (4) four oceans were officially recognized, and then in the spring of 2000, the International Hydrographic Organization established the Southern Ocean, and determined its limits. Those limits include all water below 60 degrees south, and some of it, like the Arctic Ocean, is frozen.
I hope this helps. Best of luck.

Atlantic Ocean
Pacific Ocean
Indian Ocean
Arctic Ocean
So 4.
Some sources also say the Antarctic Ocean, as well -- but I disagree.

It would be correct to say 1......."THE WORLD OCEAN," because all the water is connected. But if you divide the world in four sections, which most do.......then then say 4 and if you count the newly recognized southern part of the Arctic then they say 5.

Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, southern, and Arctic.
5 in all, and some seas that join them.
