Question

about how much solar energy does the earth absorb when compared to the total amount that hits it? 25% 50% 75% 100%

Explanation:

When solar energy reaches the Earth, some is reflected back (e.g., by clouds, ice, etc.). On average, about half (50%) of the total solar energy that hits the Earth is absorbed. 25% is reflected back to space, and the remaining 25% is used in processes like heating the atmosphere. 100% is incorrect as there is reflection, and 75% is too high considering the known reflection and other energy - related processes.

Answer:

50%
