solar energy provides a heat source for all living things on earth. we also transfer solar heat into electricity and other types of energy, using solar panels. however, only a portion of the suns energy makes it to earths surface because the ionosphere reflects some of the rays back into space. only half of the incoming ratiation from the sun makes it to the earths surface.
