Blue Planet
Ocean-covered home sphere
Blue Planet refers to Earth, named for its appearance from space—the oceans that cover most of its surface give it a distinctive blue color.
The term emphasizes Earth's uniqueness as a water-rich world: The Blue Planet is the only known planet with liquid water on its surface.
It also titles a landmark BBC nature documentary series about ocean life.
