Some people call the Earth a blue planet because when seen from near space (from the moon, for example) it appears primarily blue with white markings and a little brown. The blue comes from the fact that about 71% of the earth's surface is covered with water. However, the Earth does not have a nickname of "blue planet." That would require wider use that at present. Before the advent of color photographs from space, many people called Earth "the green planet" because their primary experience was of the green vegetation on the less that 25% of the plant's surface that has extensive vegetation.
Mars is known as the Red Planet. When aliens speak of Earth they call it the Blue Planet.
