Answer:

its size allows it to store large amounts of heat energy

Step-by-step explanation:

Oceans cover a large portion of the Earth's surface and help to regulate temperature in the lower part of the atmosphere. The atmosphere picks up most of its moisture and heat from the oceans that then creates warm air masses and thus weather patterns.
