The amount of water is close to 326,000,000,000,000,000,000 gallons which is a lot. As the water covers more area than the land, the Earth appears blue from space. If you notice, you will be able to see the brown of land, but not much of it. But it depends which continents are present also. If North America and South America is present, there will be lots of water and less land, but if Asia and Africa is visible, there will be more land than water.
