A dice contains about 10^93 grams of energy. 93 grams of energy. Working something like that out is simple next to the size of the earth. It is difficult to say what the total energy of the earth is, because the earth gains mass every second from the sun: Not only that, but Approximately 120,000 TW (terrawatts), that is 120000000000000000 joules hits our earth every second. More energy hits the sun in one hour that the whole world uses in one year, which is 5.5 x 1024!! The earth must contain a tremendous amount, which i would guestimate at something like 10x1024,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
The Sun is responsible for providing the energy that drives the Earth's water cycle. Solar energy heats the Earth's surface, causing water to evaporate and form clouds, which then leads to precipitation. This continuous cycle helps in maintaining the Earth's water balance.
An object that rotates has the tendency to continue rotating. There is no need for a continuous energy supply. In this case, the rotational energy was there from the moment that Earth formed. - Actually, to be precise, at first there was much more rotational energy; Earth's rotation has been slowing down due to tidal forces. It will continue slowing down until Earth always shows the same side to the Moon.
Approximately 70% of the solar energy that reaches Earth is absorbed by the planet, while the remaining 30% is reflected back into space. This absorbed energy is crucial for driving the Earth's climate and weather systems, as well as supporting life through processes like photosynthesis. The absorbed energy heats the land, oceans, and atmosphere, influencing various environmental processes.
The primary thing that happens when heat energy from the sun is absorbed by the earth is that its own temperature rises. The atmosphere traps in much of this heat which creates the warm climates of the planet.
To evaporate all the water on Earth, approximately 1.2 x 10^21 joules of energy is required. This estimate is based on Earth's total water volume of about 1.386 billion cubic kilometers and the latent heat of vaporization of water, which is around 2.26 million joules per kilogram. This immense amount of energy highlights the significant role water plays in Earth's climate and energy balance.
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.

The Earth receives about one billionth of the total energy output of the Sun. This energy drives Earth's weather systems, sustains life through photosynthesis, and powers the water cycle.
Earth receives about 1 billionth of the total energy emitted by the sun as starlight. This energy sustains life and drives the Earth's climate and weather systems.
don't use so much energy

its about just 1%
The Earth receives about 174 petawatts of solar energy from the sun. This energy is enough to power all human activity on the planet many times over.
Destroying the Earth completely would require an immense amount of energy, estimated to be around 2.24 x 1032 joules. This energy would need to overcome the gravitational binding energy holding the Earth together.
Earths energy is released when there is too much heat inside of Earth and volcano's erupt.
