Earth's atmosphere is a kind of changes that could affect the energy that is absorbed by Earth's surface.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of energy from the sun is directly absorbed by some gases like ozone and water vapor. Some energy from the sun is reflected back to space and the absorbed energy is transformed to heat energy.

The energy outputs from the earth is visible and infrared radiation. It receives energy from the sun and balances the energy that is lost from the earth back to space. Thus the earth maintains a stable temperature and climate.
