It warms air and water, providing the power to drive weather.
The sun transfers heat to the Earth through radiation - solar radiation.

i dont know ad i really dont care and i dislike curtis king !
They are not affected by conditions on the ground. Ground-based stations could be destroyed by severe weather (such as tornadoes or hurricanes). Satellites don't get affected by Earth's weather. Of course - satellites are at risk of meteor strike and solar radiation - but there's less chance of them being damaged.
There are weather sattellites that orbit the Earth that can detect reflected radiation, emitted radiation, or radiation reflected only by water vapour as well as satellites that emit microwave radiation to detect the clouds or precipitation.

solar radiation doesnt affect the entire world but it affects awhere the ozone layer has a hole
It's the part of the earth that receives the most direct radiation from the sun.
Solar radiation, in the form of sunlight, hits the Earth in the highest percentage. This radiation provides energy for life on Earth and drives various processes like photosynthesis and weather patterns.

Solar radiation accounted for most of the drive force on Earth's weather.
Solar radiation
The Sun's light (all forms of radiation from radio to heat to light to xrays are electromagnetic radiation) is radiated outward in pretty-much equal measure in all directions. Some tiny part of the Sun's radiation impacts the Earth, warming the planet, causing weather, plant growth and sunburns.
