The Earth appears blue from space primarily due to the vast oceans that cover about 71% of its surface. Water absorbs colors in the red part of the light spectrum and reflects and scatters blue light, giving the planet its blue hue. Additionally, the atmosphere contributes to this effect by scattering sunlight, enhancing the blue appearance. Together, these factors create the iconic "blue marble" image of Earth.
