The water appears blue because it is reflecting the sunlit atmosphere from the relative perspective of the surface of the Earth. (There are other reasons too.)
The blueness you see on the Earth from space is the oceanic water.
It's the water, and the green is land.

Earth appears blue from space because of its oceans, which cover about 71% of its surface. This vast amount of water reflects and scatters sunlight, giving the planet its characteristic blue appearance. Additionally, the Earth's atmosphere also scatters sunlight, which further contributes to the blue hue when viewed from space.
Yes but no , the blue whale is blue & gray but they look a fine lite blue under the sea.
Because, seen from space, it's obvious that most of the Earth's surface is covered by water. If you look at the Pacific ocean from space - it almost covers the whole of the visible surface ! Have a look on Google Earth - you'll see what I mean.
Because it wants to!
a shiny blue thing in space
A beige pool bottom will not make the water look blue. This is because the beige will reflect off the water making it look brown.
The Earth appears blue from outer space because of the reflection and scattering of sunlight off the oceans and atmosphere. The oceans absorb longer wavelengths of light while reflecting shorter blue wavelengths, and the atmosphere scatters blue light from the sun, resulting in the overall blue appearance.
Because its mostly water.... water is blue
No, the blue color of the Earth when seen from outer space is given by the atmosphere, not by the water on it.
