Answer:

Water blocks the radiation of white light (sunlight). In reality, the sunlight looks white from a mixture of lights of many different colors. As illumination enters the water, the water consumes white light and reflects just blue light, lights of all colors. The earth from space, thus, looks blue.

The earth is predominantly (71 % of the earth's surface) covered with water. Water absorbs the white light in the radiation (sunlight). The sunlight through appears white it is actually a combination of lights of several different colors (Violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red).

When sunlight reaches the water; the water absorbs, lights of all colors in the white light and reflects only blue light. Thus, the earth from space appears blue. If the water absorbs all colors and reflects only yellow, then it would appear yellow.
