Earth is an open system. If you only consider matter, no significant amount of matter comes to Earth or leaves it, so it may be considered closed for all practical purposes. However, there is also the all-important energy; a large amount of energy reaches Earth from the Sun, and is later radiated back into space.

What is closed energy?
here, ill copy from my school :) lol. im learning this too. hope this helps :DIn a closed systemClosed System: A system where the total mass is a conserved quantity but the total energy is not., energy can enter or leave the system but matter cannot.The planet Earth is an example of a closed system. The outer edge of the atmosphere acts as a boundary between the system, Earth, and its surroundings. Matter does not enter or leave the system, except for the occasional meteorite or shuttle, but energy is freely transferred between the Earth and its surroundings. Energy in the form of radiation from the Sun passes through the atmosphere to the Earth's surface. The Earth also emits radiation back out to space. Because energy passes across its atmosphere but matter usually does not, the Earth is considered a closed system.
Why scientist considers earth an essentially close system?
Earth is essentially not a closed system. It receives energy from the sun and looses energy as it radiates heat into space.
Why do scientist consider earth an essentially closed system?
Because no significant amount of matter enters and leaves Earth. Note, however, that with respect to energy, Earth is NOT a closed system. We can't live without the energy (radiation) from the Sun - and the corresponding cooling-off radiation into space.
