Answer:

Earth looks blue from outer space because about two-thirds of the planet is covered with water. In fact, Earth is called the “Blue Planet” for this reason. (In reality, the oceans aren’t blue; they only appear that way because the water reflects the color of the sky overhead—which also appears to us as blue, due to refraction of light.)

Answer: 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.
