Our Limited Knowledge of the Ocean Compared to Space

There are several reasons why we know less about the ocean than we do about space. One reason is that the ocean is much larger and more difficult to explore than space. The ocean is also much more complex, with a greater variety of life and a more dynamic environment. Additionally, technology for exploring the ocean is not as advanced as technology for exploring space, making it more difficult and expensive to study. Furthermore, ocean research has traditionally been less well-funded than space research, which has also limited our understanding of the ocean.

We have successfully photographed black holes, sent various machines to Mars, landed spacecraft on the dark side of the moon, but there are still places on our planet Earth that we know less about than space. 

Why do we know only 7% of the oceans on Earth?  Why is 80% of the oceans still unexplored?  A body that encompasses most of Earth but is still one of the least understood places in the universe?  Why do we know so much more about space than the ocean?  Let's try to find the answer to this question today.

We all have this question in our minds but, the reality is that exploring the oceans is more difficult than space because deep in the ocean the sunlight is uneven, which makes it extremely dark.  Since there is very little or no sunlight, the temperature there is very low and extremely cold.  Apart from this, the pressure of water in the depth of the sea is very high.  It is very easy for us to send many satellites into space but we don't know what disasters we may face in the deep ocean.  If we go into space, as you go up through the Earth's atmosphere, the air pressure will decrease and the air pressure above us in space will be 0. But, as we go down into the ocean, the water pressure above us will increase.  It seems and then it becomes difficult for us to come up.

The Mariana Trench is considered to be the deepest point in the ocean on Earth.  This place is 7 miles deep and the pressure here is 1000 times higher than the surface, which is equivalent to having 50 fighter jets on your body.  We have submersibles and sonar etc. to study the depth of the ocean, we also have remote controlled vehicles which are sent to the depths of the ocean, but it is very difficult and dangerous for humans to go to the depths of the ocean because  There is water pressure, darkness, and cold.
