The solar energy absorbed by chlorophyll is used during photosynthesis to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (a type of sugar) and oxygen. This process is essential for plants to produce their own food and release oxygen into the atmosphere.
Absorbed light is converted into other forms of energy, such as heat or chemical energy. In photosynthesis, absorbed light is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. In solar panels, absorbed light is converted into electricity.
Solar energy reaches Earth instantaneously as sunlight, but it takes time to convert this energy into electricity through solar panels. Once sunlight is absorbed by solar panels, it can be converted into electricity. This process happens in milliseconds.
The amount of solar energy absorbed by a solar panel depends on factors such as the panel's efficiency, size, orientation, and location. On average, a solar panel can absorb around 15-20% of the sunlight that hits it, but this can vary.
Absorbed solar light refers to sunlight that is taken in and converted into energy by a material or surface, such as solar panels or vegetation. The absorbed light typically causes a heating effect or generates electricity depending on the technology being used.
In a solar cooker, solar energy (light and heat) is absorbed by the reflective surface and converted to heat energy. This heat energy is then transferred to the food in the cooker, causing it to cook or heat up.

The solar energy that is absorbed in gasses clouds and ozone is little. The UV spectrum is absorbed.
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.

Most of the solar radiation is absorbed when it reaches the surface of the earth. Some of the solar radiation is also absorbed in the atmosphere.
Solar energy that is absorbed at Earth's surface is transformed into heat, which warms the surface. This heat can then be radiated back into the atmosphere as infrared radiation. Some of this heat is trapped by greenhouse gases, contributing to the Earth's overall temperature.
