- About 50 percent of the Sun's incoming energy is absorbed by the Earth's surface. In addition, about 9 percent is reflected.
- About 22 percent of the Sun's incoming energy is reflected by clouds and the atmosphere.
- About 19 percent of the Sun's incoming energy is absorbed by clouds and the atmosphere.

What percentage of the sun's energy that reaches the Earth is absorbed by ozone clouds and atmospheric gases?
50
What percentage of the sun's energy that reaches the Earth is absorbed by ozone- clouds- and atmospheric gases?
By definition of "absorbed", on average, the answer is zero. If it is absorbed by layers above the Earth, it does not reach Earth. Very little UV-B or more energetic radiation reaches earth's surface, due to the actions of ozone, oxygen and nitrogen.
How much of solar energy that falls on the leaves of a plant is converted to chemical energy by photosynthesis?

Does a liquid become a gas when its particles have absorbed enough energy to escape the surface?
yes
What form does suns energy have when it reaches earth?
The Sun's energy is given out mainly as "electromagnetic radiation". Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation. Heat is the main form the Sun's energy has when it reaches Earth, particularly the Earth's surface.

What happens to most of the sunlight that reaches Earth?
About 50% is absorbed by Earth's surface, about 25% is reflected by clouds, dust, and gases in the atmosphere, about 20% is absorbed by gases and particles in the atmosphere and about 5% is reflected by the surface back into the atmosphere. Also some absorbed energy is radiated back into the atmosphere.
What percentage of the energy radiated by the sun reaches earthes surface?
Of the Sun's energy reaching Earth's atmosphere, just under 60% reaches the Earth's surface. Only a small fraction of the Sun's energy reaches Earth, of course. In fact it's only about 0.000000045 percent. So, the answer to the question is: about 0.000000025 percent.
When energy from the sun reaches earth it is not?
absorbed by earth's core
What happens to the energy from the sun when it reaches earth's surface?
What happens to Solar Energy is that some of it gets absorbed into air, land and water while the rest gets reflected back to space.
