Solar radiation is what keeps the entire planet warm.

∙ 12y agoThe sun heats the atmosphere. Solar radiation largely passes through the atmosphere and warms the surface of the earth. The earth then radiates heat up into the lower levels of the atmosphere where greenhouse gases warm. The warmed greenhouse gases then continue to radiate heat in all directions warming the atmosphere and again the earth's surface.
It increases the amount of solar radiation that reflect into space
The solar radiation that reaches the earths surface from the sun is called INSOLATION
Swamp gas
It increases the amount of solar radiation that is reflected into space
It is radiated by many of the gases in the lower atmosphere.

By the emission of the terrestrial radiation. Terrestrial radiation is emitted in the infrared long-wavelength part of the spectrum. It is terrestrial radiation rather than solar radiation that directly warms the lower atmosphere.
The earth's magnetic field is important in that it prevents the sun's solar radiation from killing life on earth by wiping out the earth's atmosphere and deflecting dangerous radiation.

Troposphere does not absorb solar radiation. All other layers do not absorb.
The solar radiation that reaches the earths surface from the sun is called INSOLATION
Solar radiation penetrates most of the atmosphere and is mostly absorbed by earth's surface. The surface then radiates energy of a different wavelength (in the thermal infrared part of the spectrum, which we perceive as heat) back to the atmosphere, heating the lower atmosphere.
About 6% of incoming solar radiation is reflected back into space from the atmosphere and 4% by the surface of the earth.Incoming solar radiation: 100%Reflected by the atmosphere: 6% : Absorbed by the atmosphere: 16%Continuing incoming solar radiation: 78%Reflected by clouds: 20% : Absorbed by clouds: 3%Continuing incoming solar radiation: 55%Reflected by the earth's surface: 4% : Absorbed by the earth's surface (lands and oceans): 51%
