Water covers about 70% if the Earth and land covers about 30%, Water appears blue, land green or brown. Clouds (there are lots) are white.

It doesn't "appear" blue. It is blue. But there is also patches of land. (BTW, there is nothing wrong with that statement...)

Bluish, yes.

Oceans cover more than 70% of the Earth's surface. 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.
