Of course not. Energy is radiated out all the time. The hotter an object, the more energy will radiate away.

Why is it usually cooler at night?
At night, the Sun's electromagnetic radiation does not reach the dark side of Earth. Therefore the atmosphere on Earth's night side emits more energy into space than it absorbs, so the air temperature increases. this is because of fronts
What does energy generated on earth return to space as?
heat
When earth receives energy from the sun some energy escapes back into what?
Space.
Is earth an isolated system?
No. An isolated system is one which has no exchange of matter and energy with the surrounding. In case of earth, many gas particles of earth's atmosphere are lost to the space. Also it receives energy from the earth. Hence there is a transfer of matter and energy with surrounding (universe) so earth is not an isolated system.
What happens to the energy radiated by the earth?
It's lost to space
Earth loses heat energy to outer space mainly by?
Earth loses heat energy to outer space mainly by radiation.
The primary method of energy transfer by which Earth loses energy to outer space is?
Earth loses energy to outer space through radiation.
The temperature of the air falls at night because the earth loses heat by?
The temperature of the air falls at night because the earth loses heat by
Why do you say that solor energy is one way traffic?
Energy comes from Sun to Earth (and is also radiated into space in general). No significant amount of energy gets back into the Sun. That means that the Sun continuously loses energy.
Why the temperature on earth does not keep on increasing when sun is a kind of energy and where does the energy go?
The earth re-radiates energy when it can. The earth absorbs solar energy, but constantly radiates heat back out into space. When the earth rotates, the "non-sun" side is facing the cold of open space, and the surface of the earth radiates a whole bunch of heat out into the darkness of space. That's why it usually gets cold at night - all that energy is leaving.

What will happen if the earth loses its gravity?
If the earth loses gravity only high density elements will remain. The rest, water, atmosphere, organic and unorganic inhabitants of earth surface, will fall apart in to open space.
Why can you see the space station at night?
You see the International space station at night because it reflects sunlight back to earth.
What causes the earth's to slow in its orbit?
The moon. ________________ The Earth loses its kinetic energy due to all forms of friction acting on it (ie, tides, galactic space dust, solar wind, space weather, geomagnetic storms, etc). Because of this, there is an extra second added to the time it takes the Earth to fully spin roughly every 100 years.
Does the earth radiate energy?
It might be more correct to say that the earth re-radiates energy. Let's look at what's happening and break it down a bit.The sun supplies (radiates) energy, and the earth is in the path of some of it. The earth absorbs some of this energy, and it reflects some of it as well. This occurs on the sun-facing side. Of the energy that it absorbs, it will re-radiate some of that energy out into space when that side of the earth turns away from the sun to make it night.
How does the earth cool down during night?
Heat (infra red radiation) radiates into space at night, cooling the earth.
