Answer:

Remember that about 29 percent of incoming sunlight is reflected right back to space by teeny tiny bright particles in the atmosphere or bright ground surfaces, which leaves about 71 percent to be absorbed by the atmosphere (23 percent) and the land (48 percent). if you wanna add this go ahead...

The atmosphere itself - Energy into the atmosphere is balanced with outgoing energy from atmosphere. Absorbed shortwave radiation by gases in the atmosphere. Condensation /Deposition of water vapor (heat is released into the atmosphere by process).

  1. When the energy budget balances, the temperature on the Earth stays relatively constant, with no overall increase or decrease in average temperature
  2. Earth gets warmer
  3. earth gets cooler

Step-by-step explanation:

hope this helped
