You're travelling at 17500 miles an hour which means you go around the Earth every ninety minutes, which means you get to see the entire planet, uh, sixteen times in a given day.
And after a while you get pretty good at identifying where you are just by looking down - not just by shapes of coastlines, which is sort of a dead give-away, but even by colour or so. You can look down and know when you're flying over Australia because of the particular cover of most of the desert there.

The immensity of the planet is one thing, but you can absolutely see effects of human presence on the planet. You can see air pollution, contamination, by just the sort of different hue to the air - you can tell it's not a cloud, that it's something different.
You can see deforestation, you can see absolutely the shrinkage of bodies of water from my first flight in 1995 to my last in 2007, noticeable differences in the size of, for instance, the Aral Sea, and the uh, Lake Chad - a lot of bodies of water have noticeably become smaller.
And it makes you understand that we're all on this Spaceship Earth together, and we've got to figure out a way to do it in harmony, and in a way that's sustainable.
