The Earth receives about .00000005% of the Sun's energy (but only absorbs about 70% of what it receives), which ends up being about 174 petawatts.
Less than 1% of the Sun's energy is absorbed by Earth's geosphere. The majority of the Sun's energy is absorbed by the atmosphere and surface of the Earth.
Roughly 3% of the Sun's energy that reaches the Earth is absorbed by the hydrosphere. This energy plays a crucial role in driving processes like evaporation, which fuel the water cycle that is essential for the Earth's climate system.
Roughly 70% of the sun's energy is absorbed by the Earth's surface, with about 51% absorbed by the land and 19% absorbed by the oceans. The absorbed energy is crucial for driving various Earth processes such as weather patterns and the water cycle.
Roughly 70% of the sun's energy is absorbed by the Earth's surface. The rest is reflected back into space or absorbed by the atmosphere.
After the sun's rays hit the Earth, the energy is absorbed by the land, water, and atmosphere. This energy is converted into heat, which warms the Earth's surface and drives the planet's weather patterns and climate.

its about just 1%

it does reach the earth in light energy.
The tropics
At the poles.
the distance away from the equator (further away = less of the suns energy), and also the amount of cloud and type of cloud in that location (more cloud reflects more of the suns energy away from that location).
Absorbed
If layers of gas around the earth absorbed all of the suns energy, the climate would generally be much cooler. If the gasses trapped the sunlight prior to exposure, the energy of the sun would never penetrate to the ground surface.

Yes because we use the suns energy and not polluting the earth.
