At the earth's surface about 51% of incoming solar radiation is absorbed, and 4% is reflected back into space.Incoming solar radiation: 100%Reflected by the atmosphere: 6% : Absorbed by the atmosphere: 16%Continuing incoming solar radiation: 78%Reflected by clouds: 20% : Absorbed by clouds: 3%Continuing incoming solar radiation: 55%Reflected by the earth's surface: 4% : Absorbed by the earth's surface (lands and oceans): 51%
No. When light bounces it is not absorbed.
In a silicon solar cell, light energy (a photon of energy >~ 1.1eV) is absorbed in silicon and the energy absorbed excites an electron-hole pair so charge particles are formed. If there is an electric field, the charge particles will separate and an electric current occurs.

The solar energy that is absorbed in gasses clouds and ozone is little. The UV spectrum is absorbed.

in form of solar radiations and in form of ATP and NADH

Most of the solar radiation is absorbed when it reaches the surface of the earth. Some of the solar radiation is also absorbed in the atmosphere.
The solar energy that reaches the Earth is called insolation.Of the incoming solar radiation 16% is absorbed by the earth's atmosphere, 3%is absorbed by clouds and 51%is absorbed by the earth's surface, making a total of 70%.
Yes they can as the sun is still producing light energy and it can still be absorbed by the solar cells, only problem is the pressure might break it and so you may need to reenforce it :)
