Radiated away as heat. If the Earth lost energy constantly, it would eventually freeze; if it gained energy constantly, it would eventually boil. The Earth has an energy balance; equal amounts of energy are absorbed by the Earth as sunlight as are radiated away as heat.
If the Earth were to become too warm, more clouds would form, reflecting light away and causing the Earth to cool down. If the Earth were to get too cold, fewer clouds would form, allowing more heat and light in. However, over the past few million years, the Earth has had more ice ages than moderate periods.

What percentage of the solar energy the reaches the outer atmosphere is absorbed at the earths surface?
50%
What happens to the Suns energy when it reaches the earths 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.
What is solar wave how much height it reaches?
I don't recognise your terms 'solar wave' and 'height'. Solar energy is emitted from the sun and reaches earth as radiation in the visible, ultraviolet, and infrared bands. the totoal falling on 1 square meter of earths surface (on average) is 230 watts.
What percentage of the solar energy the reaches the outer atmosphere is absorbed at the earth's surface?
50%
Most solar energy that reaches earth's atmosphere is absorbed by whtat?
absorbed by earth's surface
What percentage of the solar energy the reaches the outer atmosphere is absorbed at the earths surface?
50%
What happens to the Suns energy when it reaches the earths 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.
When Earths surface is heated it radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as?
When Earths surface is heated it radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as "Infrared Radiation."
How does energy from earths interior cause changes to earths surface?
due to volcanics effects and movement of earth which affect the earth surface
Where does the energy that reaches the earth's surface come from?
the sun
What do you call the energy from beneath the earths surface?
It is called geothermal energy.
What absorbs energy that is radiation from earths surface?
the greenhouse effect!
What absorbed the most energy that is radiated from earths surface?
the greenhouse
What is the point on earths surface where an earthquake energy is received?
epicenter
When the Sun's rays strike earths surface energy is what?
Absorbed
Where energy on earths surface comes from?
The sun & the Earth's core.
Why is only 50 percent of the solar energy that reaches the outer atmosphere absorbed by Earths surface?
The Earth looks bright - thus much of the light reaching Earth is reflected back into space.
