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.
some energy is re emitted back into the atmosphere as longwave radiation greenhouse gases carbon dioxide nitrous oxide methane water vapour effectively prevent some of this longwave radiation from leaving the atmospherethis warms earth s atmosphere making our planet habitablehis warms earth s surface and then earth radiates some of this energy as infrared or longwave radiation back towards space as it passes through the atmosphere gases such as water vapour carbon dioxide methane and nitrous oxide absorb most of the energy
