When the sun's energy is reflected back from the Earth, it can be absorbed by the atmosphere, clouds, or surface. Some of the energy gets trapped and warms the Earth, contributing to the greenhouse effect. The rest is radiated back towards space.
Radiant energy is reflected from Earth and back into space by electromagnetic waves, particularly by the shorter wavelengths of visible light. These waves carry energy away from Earth as they are reflected back into space, helping to maintain the planet's energy balance.
Most of the Sun's radiant energy is absorbed by Earth's atmosphere and surface, where it is then converted into heat. Some of it is reflected back into space by clouds and the Earth's surface.
When a wave is partially reflected at a boundary, some of the energy is transmitted into the new medium while the remaining energy is reflected back. This results in a division of energy between the reflected and transmitted waves.
When radiation hits Earth's surface, it can be absorbed, reflected, or scattered. Some of the absorbed radiation warms the surface, causing temperatures to increase, while some is re-radiated back into the atmosphere as heat. The remaining radiation is reflected back into space, contributing to Earth's energy balance.
Earth's energy budget refers to the balance between the incoming energy from the sun and the outgoing energy emitted by Earth back into space. This balance is crucial for maintaining the planet's temperature and climate. Any disruptions in this energy budget can lead to changes in Earth's climate system.

Energy from the sun that is absorbed by the Earth's surface is reflected back into the atmosphere or absorbed by land and water and transformed into 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.
When Earth receives energy from the sun, some of the energy is reflected back into space. This reflected energy is mainly in the form of infrared radiation.
It goes back into space.
