Solar energy can be the suns rays, or it can be space weather. But mostly it's the energy Earth gets from the sun for radiation or it can be reflected back into space.
Yes, the denser the cloud of water vapor, the more solar energy is blocked, or more accurately "reflected" back into space.
Sound energy that pass through a solid is said to be reflected because as sound waves pass from air to a solid, some of the energy is reflected back into the air. Some of the energy will be absorbed by the new medium.
The percent of energy that is reflected off a surface and back to a sensor.
If you can see the light reflected, then it has hit your eyes, and your brain is processing it as the sense of sight, if you cannot see it, then it has reflected somewhere other than your eyes-IE; back into space, or it is a wavelength of light that the human eye cannot detect.
Albedo
Energy is re-radiated by the Earth as infrared (thermal) radiation.
Space.
Solar energy reflected by clouds (20%) and the earth's surface (4%) is all reflected back into space.
It goes back into space.
Solar energy that heats the surface is re-radiated as infrared radiation, some of which is absorbed by the atmosphere in the process. Water vapor, methane, and carbon dioxide can all collect this re-radiated energy to some extent.
Most of it is reflected back into space.
Most of it is reflected back into space.
Most of it is reflected back into space.
Most of it is reflected back into space.
Most radiant energy is absorbed by Earth. The rest is reflected and bounces back and forth between Earth's surface and the clouds until absorbed.
