Everything on planet Earth, including the atmosphere, the oceans, the ice caps, the continents, and the man made objects absorb some of the sun's energy.
About 30 to 35% of the sun's energy is reflected. Clouds, ice, and snow are good reflectors.

Can you run out of geothermal energy?
no you can never run out of gethermal energy. it is the heat from the earth's core which has been running for billions of years and won't stop soon. also, the earth absorbs heat from the sun and contains it so geothermal energy won't end until billions of years later when the sun does no you can never run out of gethermal energy. it is the heat from the earth's core which has been running for billions of years and won't stop soon. also, the earth absorbs heat from the sun and contains it so geothermal energy won't end until billions of years later when the sun does
