Terrestrial (Earth) Radiation Radiation emitted by Earth is almost entirely long-wave radiation. Most of the terrestrial radiation is absorbed by the water vapor in the atmosphere and some by other gases (about 8 percent is radiated directly to outer space). This radiant energy is reradiated in the atmosphere horizontally and vertically.
The sun's energy heats the surface of the Earth, which in turn  heats the air just above it. Where the suâ¦n heats the surface of the  ocean, evaporation occurs, which moistens the air. Warm, moist air  carries a very large amount of energy that is the power source for  thunderstorms.
