All planets receive energy from the Sun. But, the amount of energy decreases with the planetâs distance from the Sun. This is because after emission, radiant energy spreads over a greater and greater area as it moves through space.
Only a small portion of the energy radiated by the sun into space strikes the Earth, one part in two billion. Yet this amount of energy is enormous. The sun provides more energy in an hour than the United States can use in a year! About 30 percent of the radiant energy that reaches the Earth is reflected back into space. About half of the radiant energy is absorbed by land and oceans.
