The Earth looks blue from space because of the water that covers most of it. Other colors that can be seen are green, brown and yellow.
Earth. It looks blue from a distance
from a satellite the earth looks blue as it is the ocean! the ocean takes up to 80% of the world!
That's because it looks mainly blue, from space. With the clouds it looks like a blue marble.The Earth is called the "blue planet" because the surface is composed mostly of water. Over 70 % of the Earth's surface is water.Water looks blue from space mainly because it reflects the blue atmosphere.However, the full explanation is quite complicated.(A clear sky in daylight looks blue from the Earth's surface, because of the way white light is scattered by the air molecules.)

It looks like a blue and green sphere, but you can see all of the clouds floating above the Earth.
I think that the Earth looks blue from outer space by an astronomer's eye is because the Earth is 75% water and 25% land. Since water is blue and there is a great quantity of it on the Earth, you spot the blue area first.
The sky looks blue because sunlight is scattered by the Earth's atmosphere.
The Pacific Ocean looks like a a blob of color blue covering 2/3 of the earth from outer space
Because its mostly water.... water is blue
In space, the Earth looks like a blue marble. NASA has many photographs of the Earth from space. The earth is spherical like an orange but it is not orange.http://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/Collections/EarthFromSpace/land.htmhttp://www.wired.com/2014/12/digital-globe-best-earth-from-space-201
Earth looks blue from space because of the way sunlight interacts with our atmosphere. The Earth's atmosphere scatters sunlight in all directions, but blue light is scattered more than other colors because it has a shorter wavelength. This scattering of blue light gives the Earth a blue appearance when viewed from space.
The planet Earth looks blue and green from space because of its atmosphere, which contains gases like oxygen and nitrogen that scatter sunlight to create those colors.
