THE SUN'S ENERGY
As shown in this picture, not all of the sun's energy is absorbed by the Earth. Around 30% of sunlight's energy is scattered and reflected from
the atmosphere, clouds, and Earth's surface. Another 19% is absorbed by the
atmosphere and clouds, only leaving about 51% of the sun's energy actually being absorbed by the Earth.
