On a map what color is for water?
When you look into an ocean or a lake, the water looks like it's blue. But, up close, water isn't really blue. It's only blue when you look at it in big groups, (like an ocean or a lake, a pond etc.), because the sky is blue, so the color of the sky makes a blue reflection on the water, making it look blue. So, on a map, if you drew water as clear, nobody would be able to tell there was anything there at all! So, water on a map is drawn blue instead.

Why does the sea appear blue even though water is colorless?
They are MOSTLY right but the ocean isn't always green (which is caused by algae and seaweed because the water IS colorless); in some ares like Destine, Florida (for example) the water is totally clear and you can see EVERYTHING (from small fish, crabs, seashells, the sand, to other undersea creatures) until you get farther out into the ocean where it appears blue due to the sky's reflection. She is right the water is clear but with the sun and water;the sun makes a rainbow in the water so it terns blue or green.

Kind of. You see, the actual color of the sky is clear. When the sun's rays hits the ocean water, it reflects into the air, and makes the sky look blue to the human eye. However, water is also clear. The ocean is clear. The things that makes it it's colors are the Sun's rays and what's inside of it like algae and all that stuff. So technically yes, the color of water affects the color of the sky.
