Explanation:

• For the first question: The Earth's surface reflects about 5% of the Sun's radiation. This is because most of the solar radiation is either absorbed by the Earth's surface or atmosphere.
• For the second question: The atmosphere absorbs about 20% of the Sun's radiation. Gases like water vapor, carbon dioxide, and ozone play a role in this absorption.
• For the third question: The Earth's surface absorbs about 50% of the Sun's radiation. This absorbed energy is crucial for heating the planet and driving various Earth - system processes.

Answer:

• How much of the sun's radiaiton is reflected by Earth's surface: 5%
• How much of the sun's radiaiton is absorbed by the atmosphere: 20%
• How much of the sun's radiaiton is absorbed by Earth's surface: 50%
