No. When light bounces it is not absorbed.
Visible light heats the earth and the earth emits infrared energy which is absorbed by green house gases that trap the heat.
A substance´s color is due to chemical compounds called pigments. When light shines on a material that contains pigments, three things can happen to the different wavelengths: they can be transmitted, reflected, or absorbed.
Example for light energy is absorbed or released, Heat is released and absorbed, electrical energy absorbed or released...
The light energy is absorbed and dispersed after it hits the radiometer.
Only in patterns of darkness can you not see invisible absorbed light.
If the light can not pass through a object it is opaque . The light will reflect or be absorbed by the object.
light at a frequency similar to the absorbed frequency is emitted
Visible light can be absorbed anywhere.-- Anything that appears to have a color in sunlight has absorbed most ofthe visible light of all other colors.-- Anything that appears black in an otherwise light room has absorbed all ofthe visible light that fell on it.
