Yes, absorbed radiation can be re-emitted as energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation or heat. This phenomenon is known as re-emission or re-radiation. The amount and wavelength of the re-emitted radiation depend on the properties of the absorbing material.
The radiation emitted by a body that absorbed it first is known as re-emitted or secondary radiation. This occurs when absorbed energy is re-radiated by the object in a different form such as heat or light.
Energy leaves Earth primarily in the form of thermal radiation, which is emitted by the Earth's surface and atmosphere. This thermal radiation eventually escapes into space. Solar energy that is absorbed by the Earth's surface is also re-emitted as heat.
More energy is absorbed by Earth than reflected. Solar radiation penetrates the Earth's atmosphere and is absorbed by the land, oceans, and atmosphere, warming the planet. Some of this energy is then re-emitted as infrared radiation, but a significant amount remains trapped as heat.
called luminescence. It occurs when the substance absorbs energy from the external radiation and re-emits it as light. Luminescence can be either fluorescent, phosphorescent, or other forms based on the time it takes for the substance to re-emit the absorbed energy as light.
Fluorescence occurs when a molecule absorbs light energy and then quickly releases it as lower-energy, longer-wavelength light. This phenomenon is typically caused by specific chemical structures within a molecule that allow it to absorb light and emit fluorescence.

Incoming solar radiation that is reflected off the surface of the Earth can be absorbed by atmospheric gases, clouds, or particles in the air. Some of this radiation can be scattered or absorbed by the atmosphere and re-emitted as infrared radiation. This process helps regulate the Earth's temperature and maintain the energy balance of the planet.
It's actually the rain forest because that is the biome closest to the equator, meaning that it has a net radiation budget surplus (more solar radiation is absorbed than reflected/re-emitted as infrared radiation), unlike the biomes closer to the poles which will have a net radiation budget deficit (more infrared radiation is re-emitted/reflected than solar radiation that is absorbed).
Longwave radiation refers to infrared radiation emitted by the Earth's surface and atmosphere, which can be absorbed by greenhouse gases and contribute to warming the atmosphere. Shortwave radiation, such as sunlight, is absorbed by the Earth's surface and then re-emitted as longwave radiation. This difference in wavelengths affects how energy is distributed in the atmosphere, with longwave radiation playing a key role in the greenhouse effect and shortwave radiation driving the Earth's climate system.
Mainly by radiation - however, the radiation quickly gets absorbed by an atom, and re-emitted, so it takes quite a while to reach the surface. In the outer part of the Sun, the energy also gets transported through convection.
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.
called luminescence. It occurs when the substance absorbs energy from the external radiation and re-emits it as light. Luminescence can be either fluorescent, phosphorescent, or other forms based on the time it takes for the substance to re-emit the absorbed energy as light.
Convection: Warm air rises and cool air sinks, creating vertical movement of energy. Conduction: Energy is transferred through direct contact between the atmosphere and Earth's surface. Radiation: Solar energy is absorbed by the atmosphere and re-emitted as infrared radiation.
Earth's radiation is primarily longwave. Shortwave radiation from the sun enters the Earth's atmosphere, where some is absorbed and re-radiated as longwave radiation. This longwave radiation is what is emitted back out into space.
