Absorbed
About 17% of the suns rays get absorbed into our atmosphere
Roughly 70% of the sun's energy is absorbed by the Earth's surface. The rest is reflected back into space or absorbed by the atmosphere.
When the sun's rays strike Earth's surface, the energy is either absorbed, reflected, or scattered. This energy is essential for driving various processes on Earth, such as warming the surface, powering the water cycle, and enabling photosynthesis in plants.
Some is absorbed by the earths air water and soil. The remainder is reflected.
After the sun's rays hit the Earth, the energy is absorbed by the land, water, and atmosphere. This energy is converted into heat, which warms the Earth's surface and drives the planet's weather patterns and climate.
Well, Archimedes made a war weapon that reflected the suns rays in order to set Roman ships on fire. It was called the Death Ray.
The energy from the sun's rays is absorbed by the Earth's surface, oceans, and atmosphere. This energy is then converted into heat, which drives weather patterns, ocean currents, and the growth of plants through photosynthesis.
The Suns rays reflect of the Earth, then off the outer shell of the atmosphere, temporarily trapping sunlight and heat.
No it is not.
