Answer:

The climate system is powered by radiation from the sun, of which approximately 49% is absorbed by the Earth's surface, and 20% is absorbed by the atmosphere (Kiehl & Trenberth 1997). This energy warms the planet, but the warming also causes Earth to start radiating energy back into space.
