In the model, 30% (atmosphere (6%) + clouds (20%) + Earth’s surface (4%)) of the incoming solar radiation (shortwave radiation) is reflected back into space before it is converted to heat (thermal radiation or longwave radiation). After entering the Earth’s atmosphere, the remaining 70% of this solar radiation is absorbed (and converted into heat) by the land and oceans (51%), the atmosphere (16%) and clouds (3%). After the conversion to heat, all of this heat (which is the entire product of the conversion of the 70% of incoming solar radiation) radiates back to space through several pathways. This model, in essence, shows that that all the energy that enters the Earth’s geosphere leaves the geosphere.
