The Sun's light enters the Earth through refraction,because if it wouldn't enter earth only if it reflected.
The sun's energy is reflected into space by various surfaces like clouds, ice, snow, and Earth's surface. This reflection helps regulate the Earth's temperature by preventing all the sun's energy from being absorbed.
About 26% of incoming solar radiation is reflected back into space from the clouds and atmosphere. Another 16% is absorbed by the atmosphere.Incoming solar radiation: 100%Reflected by the atmosphere: 6% : Absorbed by the atmosphere: 16%Continuing incoming solar radiation: 78%Reflected by clouds: 20% : Absorbed by clouds: 3%Continuing incoming solar radiation: 55%Reflected by the earth's surface: 4% : Absorbed by the earth's surface (lands and oceans): 51%

The Earth maintains an energy balance through the process of incoming solar radiation and outgoing heat. Solar energy from the sun is absorbed by the Earth's surface, warming it, while some of this energy is reflected back into space by clouds and the atmosphere. The Earth then emits heat energy in the form of infrared radiation. This balance between energy absorbed and energy emitted helps regulate the planet's climate and temperature.
During an ice age, the Earth's surface is covered by a larger area of ice and snow. This increased ice and snow cover increases the Earth's albedo, or reflectivity, causing more solar energy to be reflected back into space rather than being absorbed by the surface. As a result, the absorption of solar energy by the Earth's surface decreases during an ice age.
It is called "The solar energy reflected by earth".
Most of it is reflected back into space.
Solar energy is absorbed by Earth's surface and atmosphere, warming them up. Some of this energy is then re-emitted as infrared radiation or reflected back into space by clouds, ice, and the Earth's surface. This balance of absorption and reflection helps regulate Earth's temperature.
Solar energy that reaches the Earth is either absorbed by the atmosphere, clouds, or surface of the Earth, leading to heating. Some solar energy is reflected back into space by clouds, the atmosphere, and the Earth's surface. This energy drives various processes on Earth, including weather patterns, photosynthesis in plants, and the water cycle.

This absorbed energy is then re-radiated as heat
Yes, the sun is the source of energy for all weather due to the fact that weather is caused by collisions in temperatures and pressures. Without the sun, there would be no heat. Therefore, no weather.
