100% of the energy entering earthâs atmosphere comes from the sun. ~50% of the incoming energy is absorbed by the earthâs surface i.e. the land and oceans. ~30% is directly reflected back to space by clouds, the earthâs surface and different gases and particles in the atmosphere (the earth's albedo is 0.3 on average). ~20% is absorbed by the atmosphere and clouds. The 70% of the sunâs energy that is absorbed by the earthâs surface, clouds, and atmosphere causes warming. Any object or gas that has a temperature emits radiation outward, and this is ultimately re-radiated back into space.
II. Some of this energy is emitted from Earth's surface back into space in the form of infrared radiation. III. Much of this infrared radiation does not reach space, however, because it is absorbed by greenhouse gases in atmosphere, and is then emitted as infrared radiation back toward the Earth's surface.This process is known as the greenhouse effect.I.
