Solar radiation from the sun is a major driver of Earth's climate. It warms the planet, controlling weather patterns and climate systems. Changes in solar radiation levels can influence temperature variations and impact the Earth's climate in both short and long-term scales.
The sun's radiation is essential for driving Earth's climate by providing heat energy that warms the planet. Variations in solar radiation can impact climate patterns, such as fluctuations in solar output affecting temperature changes. However, human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels, have a larger influence on Earth's climate compared to natural variations in solar radiation.
Almost all of the energy that affects the climate on the Earth originates from the Sun.
Roughly 70% of the sun's radiation is absorbed by the Earth's surface, while the remaining 30% is reflected back into space. This absorbed energy plays a crucial role in driving Earth's climate and weather patterns.
The Earth's orbit affects rainfall patterns through variations in distance from the sun, which can influence the distribution and intensity of incoming solar radiation. These changes in solar radiation can impact atmospheric circulation patterns, which in turn, affect global weather systems and precipitation. Additionally, orbital parameters like eccentricity, tilt, and precession can influence long-term climate variations, such as ice ages.
The radiation that Earth receives from the sun can be absorbed by the atmosphere, reflected back into space, or absorbed by the Earth's surface and converted into heat energy.
It will cool the earth's surface as radiation from the sun is blocked from entering the atmosphere
The sun. Other than the sun and the moon (gravity pull of the moon create the tides) though, the options are limited. Larger celestial bodies such as asteroids can have a significant effect on earths climate, but to my knowledge this has not happened in modern times.

The sun.
Relationship to the sun
earths axis is little tilted which makes its rotation different at different points of time. this change in rotation and the significant difference of distant between the earth and the sun affects the climate
Yes. Profoundly.

Almost all of the energy that affects the climate on the Earth originates from the Sun.
