Ocean
An ocean is a body of liquid, usually saltwater. There are two planets that have oceans: Kerbin and Eve. Laythe, a moon of Jool, is both the only moon with an oxygenated atmosphere and the only moon with an ocean.
Ocean Types
Both Kerbin and Laythe have oceans of liquid water. Laythe's oceans appear to be saltier than Kerbins', as it does not freeze at 'normal' freezing temperatures (about 0* Celsius, 32* Fahrenheit). Eve, on the other hand, has oceans of a purple liquid called 'Explodium'. It appears to be rocket fuel.
Biomes
The oceans on the three bodies usually are their own biome. Kerbin's oceans are the 'Water' biome; Laythe's, the Sagen and Degrasse seas, and Crater and Crescent Bays; Eve, the Explodium, Eastern and Western seas, and Akatsuki and Crater Lakes. Kerbin's Shores biome and Eve's and Laythe's shallows biome all represent the boundary between their oceans and their land.
In Kerbal Mythology
Kerbals apparently believed that Moho had oceans of molten rock, according to the Kerbal Astronomical Society's description of Moho:
| “ | Moho figures in Kerbal mythology as a fiery place with oceans of flowing lava. | ” |
However, Moho does not, in fact, have oceans of lava or any other liquid.
