Earth's Energy Balance extended definition. Earth's Energy balance describes how the incoming energy from the sun is used and returned to space. If incoming and outgoing energy are in balance, the earth's temperature remains constant.
The remaining fractionâa net 5-6 percent of incoming solar energyâis transferred to the atmosphere when greenhouse gas molecules absorb thermal infrared energy radiated by the surface. The atmosphere radiates the equivalent of 59% of incoming sunlight back to space as thermal infrared energy, or heat.
