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.
In this sense, Earth's atmosphere is sort of the flip side of the Sun's atmosphere. The Greenhouse Effect. Most of the solar radiation that reaches the Earth or its lower atmosphere, where albedo from clouds and features on the ground come into play, is thus in the form of visible light. So what is the fate of that sunlight? Recall that, averaged over the surface area of Earth's globe, about 342 W/m 2 of energy reaches the top of Earth's atmosphere. Recall also that the peak of the Sun's EM emissions are in the visible light region of the spectrum.
