when a material absorbs light it can be reflected,scattered, absorbed, refracted,or it can pass through with no effect
yeah, it usually gets converted to heat... unless it bounces off or goes right through.
That's why black things get hotter than white things.
heat
The light energy is absorbed and dispersed after it hits the radiometer.
they are absorbed
The sunlight then heats the Earth.
The energy in the light is absorbed by the material.

It changes to heat energy.
The sunlight then heats the Earth.

The sunlight is partially absorbed by materials on Earth; when that happens, the energy in the sunlight is converted into heat energy.
It either reflects off, or is absorbed and converts to another form of energy.
It is either transmitted or reflected. Often, different portions of the light do both.
Light is absorbed where it is converted into energy via the light reactions. It is then transfered to the Calvin Cycle, where it is used to make stored energy, and the used ATP (energy) units are recycled to the light reactions and the process repeats.
