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.
Thus, about 71 percent of the total incoming solar energy is absorbed by the Earth system. Of the 340 watts per square meter of solar energy that falls on the Earth, 29% is reflected back into space, primarily by clouds, but also by other bright surfaces and the atmosphere itself. About 23% of incoming energy is absorbed in the atmosphere by atmospheric gases, dust, and other particles.
