In this video I will explain how the energy balance works in Earth's atmosphere. It involves some of the Sun's energy not reaching Earth because the Sun's does not hit Earth perpendicularly. Some of Sun's energy are reflected from the atmosphere and surface, and some are radiated from the atmosphere and surface. Some are absorbed directed by the atmosphere, and others are absorbed by the atmosphere after radiating off the surface of Earth.
