Beauty is in the Eye of The Beholder. The Earth is Beautiful to you because It fits Your Idea and Conception of Beauty. If It Didn't You would Not think The Earth was Beautiful. I also Think It's because We are Taught To think That the world we Live in Is beautiful, and we are taught this because It would be a Much Harder World to live in if we DIDN'T think It was Beautiful On some level. And Human beings Have an intrinsic Need for Beauty. Otherwise, NO ONE Would care about beauty on ANY level.
Plus, It really Is Beautiful.
Enjoy.

You have the eyes to see the beauty of creation, and the fact that the goodness there is greater than the evil.
Beauty is a transcendental property of being, which means that it is the property of being as being to be beautiful.
However, ugly things do exist.
If something is ugly, it is ugly.
But that is only due to the absence of being or goodness in a given element of a thing that is due to that thing.
Ugliness is like evil.
Ugliness is not a positive being, but is the absence of beauty that is due. Evil, likewise, is not a positive being, but is the absence of the goodness that is due.
It is like a room that is blacked out when there should be light there.
The darkness is not a thing in itself, but is merely the absence of light that is supposed to be there.

We see it as beautiful because it's our home world. We evolved here and it sustains us, so it's natural to see it as beautiful. I would think that scavengers see dead, bloated corpses as beautiful in their way, too.
Keep in mind that we can only see less than one octave of the electromagnetic spectrum (which we call light), so we are in fact mostly blind to what the earth actually 'looks' like. We are sensitive to the frequencies which are produced by the sun and which enable us to survive; other animals see more or less than we do, according to the ecological niche they occupy.
And they are truly beautiful, to atheist and believer alike. Knowing why they are beautiful does not detract at all from the experience.

Everything in this world is beautiful - it's nature. The way God made it - and it's meant to be that way. Sometimes even a blade of grass may seem utterly magnificent. Just the way we view the world perhaps - it may be beyond our control or speechlessly glorious.
Happy holidays and stay safe!

Because it is unlike any other planet in this galaxy. The luxury of color is due to the diversity of life our planet sustains and as long as we protect it it will continue to glow as the jewel of the heavens.
