Answer:
When it reaches the Earth, some is reflected back to space by clouds, some is absorbed by the atmosphere, and some is absorbed at the Earth's surface. However, since the Earth is much cooler than the Sun, its radiating energy is much weaker (long wavelength) infrared energy.
Hope it helps

Because the Earth is much cooler than the Sun, the radiating energy is much weaker energy.
Only 70% of energy is absorbed by earth's surface.
