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.

What happens to the heat sun?

This isn't the best answer, but it starts with 100% radiation, 25% is reflected back by clouds and other particles, 20% is absorbed by particles in the atmosphere, 50% of radiation reaches and is absorbed by Earth's surface, and 5% of radiation from the sun is reflected by land and sea surface.
