Solar energy reflected by clouds (20%) and the earth's surface (4%) is all reflected back into space.
Yes. Indeed one proposed solution for the global warming suffered by our planet is to increase the amount of energy reflected back into space by increasing our own oceans ability to reflect it.
they get it from the suns energy
No, it does not.
hydrogen
Plants use the suns energy to make energy in a process called photosynthesis. The suns energy is used to produce glucose which provides the energy that the plants need to survive through processes such as respiration and expiration.
Neither, they ARE energy.
why
It goes back into space.
45%
absorbed
Some is absorbed by the earths air water and soil. The remainder is reflected.
Roughly 70% of the sun's energy is absorbed by the Earth's surface. The rest is reflected back into space or absorbed by the atmosphere.
The Suns rays reflect of the Earth, then off the outer shell of the atmosphere, temporarily trapping sunlight and heat.

What happens to Solar Energy is that some of it gets absorbed into air, land and water while the rest gets reflected back to space.
Well, Archimedes made a war weapon that reflected the suns rays in order to set Roman ships on fire. It was called the Death Ray.
Roughly 30% of the sun's energy is scattered or reflected back into space primarily due to interactions with the Earth's atmosphere, clouds, and surface. This loss of solar energy occurs through processes like Rayleigh scattering, absorption, and reflection.
