Oceans are the largest uninterrupted expanses of water. Seas are smaller lobes of the ocean that are partly surrounded by land.

Basically a Sea is a smaller body of water and an Ocean is a larger body of water. See below:
A sea is either a large area of saline water connected with an ocean, or a large saline water lake that lacks a natural outlet.
An ocean is a major body of saline water, and a principal component of the hydrosphere. Approximately 70% of the Earth's surface is covered by ocean, a continuous body of water that is customarily divided into several principal oceans and smaller seas.
