Answer:

The Earth absorbs most of the energy reaching its surface

Step-by-step explanation:

a small fraction is reflected. In total approximately 70% of incoming radiation is absorbed by the atmosphere and the Earth's surface while around 30% is reflected back to space and does not heat the surface.
