If the sealed glass is permeable to sunlight or to transfer of heat will be an open system, but if the sealed glass is a thermic glass and doesn't allow exchange of heat and exchange of solar energy (for example a mirrored glass that reflect the sunlight) and the terrarium is not exchanging energy with the surroundings will be a closed system. It is a question that doesn't specify too many details about the system in the study. It is hard to give a final answer without making some assumptions.
