the sun gives off energy
The energy that reaches the Earth from the sun is known as sunlight.
Radiation.
Electromagnetic radiation.
absorbed by earth's core
Energy from the sun reaches the Earth through electromagnetic radiation, primarily in the form of visible light. This light travels through the vacuum of space and reaches the Earth's atmosphere, where it is absorbed and converted into heat energy.
The energy that reaches the Earth from the sun is known as sunlight.

The majority of the sun's energy is absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere before it reaches the surface.

absorbed by earth's core
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.
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.
It turns to solar energy.
