Answer: What Happens to Incoming Solar Radiation? The solar radiation Earth receives primarily consists of shorter wavelengths of visible light. As Wein's law explains, the sun's high temperature emits solar radiation of mostly shorter wavelengths. This incoming solar radiation may be scattered, reflected, or absorbed.
about 23 per cent of incoming solar energy is absorbed in the atmosphere by water vapour, dust, and ozone, and 48 per cent passes through the atmosphere and is absorbed by the surface. Thus, about 71 per cent of the total incoming solar energy is absorbed by the Earth system.
