Earth is called "the Blue planet".
Earth is the planet of our solar system with the highest abundance of water. Nearly three-quarters of the Earth's surface is covered in water but no other planet of our solar system has a confirmed presence of water. There are some speculations that Europa and Enceladus (Jupiter's and Saturn's moons respectively) have liquid oceans under their frozen surface.
