The energy that doesnt reach earth just goes out into the universe. Say that energy comes from the sun, well by the time it would've reached earth it would've spanned and expanded out so we (earth) would only receive a portion of the energy than what was previously released from the sun. :)
In India we have 300 sunny days - but we ignore this renewable energy to produce electricity.
The energy that reaches the Earth from the sun is known as sunlight.
absorbed by earth's core
Solar energy that reaches the Earth is either absorbed by the atmosphere, clouds, or surface of the Earth, leading to heating. Some solar energy is reflected back into space by clouds, the atmosphere, and the Earth's surface. This energy drives various processes on Earth, including weather patterns, photosynthesis in plants, and the water cycle.
Electromagnetic radiation.
The majority of the sun's energy is absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere before it reaches the surface.
Nothing really it gets darker

It reaches earth as an electromagnetic wave.
The energy that reaches the Earth from the sun is known as sunlight.
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.

It feeds the plants which gos in the food cycle and gos to the animal's then to us people and food chain!
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.
