A quantity of of the light energy from the sun is absorbed by
the surface of the Earth. As a result, the earth's surface becomes
hotter. The sun itself becomes a source of radiation and emits
infrared radiation back into space. There is a steady balance of
energy flow in from the sun and energy flow back out to space. As a
result the earth remains balance/stable at around 290K.

Why the earth is warm enough for life
A quantity of of the light energy from the sun is absorbed by
the surface of the Earth. As a result, the earth's surface becomes
hotter. The sun itself becomes a source of radiation and emits
infrared radiation back into space. There is a steady balance of
energy flow in from the sun and energy flow back out to space. As a
result the earth remains balance/stable at around 290K.
