what effect does the earth's surface have on solar radiation?
A. The ground absorbs half the solar radiation and stored it as infrared radiation for centuries
B. Half of the solar radiation is absorbed and converted to infrared (heat)
C. Nearly all solar radiation is reflected back into space by the ground

Solar radiation that is not absorbed or reflected by the atmosphere (for example by clouds) reaches the surface of the Earth. The Earth absorbs most of the energy reaching its surface, 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. The Earth radiates energy at wavelengths much longer than the Sun because it is colder. Part of this longwave radiation is absorbed by greenhouse gases which then radiate energy into all directions, including downwards and thereby trapping heat in the atmosphere.

Hope this helps, sorry if it is incorrect. Have a great day/night!

What is solar radiation?

Solar radiation, often called the solar resource or just sunlight, is a general term for the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the sun.

Solar radiation can be captured and turned into useful forms of energy, such as heat and electricity, using a variety of technologies
