If clouds absorb only a small amount of solar radiation how is Earth's atmosphere heated?

From the surface. Solar radiation is absorbed by the surface and emitted at a longer wavelength, which is essentially heat.

What is the amount of heat energy in the earths atmosphere is referred to as?
Longwave radiation.
Do cactuses absorb radiation?
Yes cactus do absorb radiation. But they do it for a limited range.
What does the amount of energy in the atmosphere depend on?
the amount of energy absorbed by the sun and the amount of energy that escapes the earths atmosphere.
How does the ozone layer reduces the amount of ultraviolet radiation that reaches earths surface?
Ozone layer contains ozone molecules in abundance. These molecules decompose themselves to absorb ozone.
18) The amount of radiation that an individual absorbs depends on?
On the amount of radiation emitted; on how close the individual is to the source of the radiation; on any objects in between which might absorb part of the radiation.
What is the amount of heat energy in the earths atmosphere is referred to as?
Longwave radiation.
How does volcanic ash in earths atmosphere effect solar radiation?
It increases the amount of solar radiation that reflect into space
What is the earths sunblock?
The ozone layer acts as a sort of 'sunblock' for the earth, limiting the amount of UV radiation that enters the atmosphere.
What graph best shows the relationship between the concentration of carbon dioxide in earths atmosphere and the amount of infrared radiation absorbed by the atmosphere?
We do not have your graph and can't answer. I would suggest you look at the graphs and the vectors.

Ozone layer contains ozone molecules in abundance. These molecules decompose themselves to absorb ozone.
The amount of ultraviolet radiation hitting the Earth's surface is greatly reduced by which gas in the atmosphere?
Short wavelength radiation such as Ultraviolet fall to absorption spectrum band of Ozone. Ozone absorb UV and re-emitted the radiation in the range of infrared or thermal range radiation.
What effects does the amount of ozone in your atmosphere have?
The amount of ozone in atmosphere determine s the % of solar radiation that will be absorbed. The absorbtion of radiation is proportional to the concentration of ozone.
18) The amount of radiation that an individual absorbs depends on?
On the amount of radiation emitted; on how close the individual is to the source of the radiation; on any objects in between which might absorb part of the radiation.
What is the amount of heat energy in the earths atmosphere referred to as?
the altitude
