Which of the following is true concerning the balance between the solar energy absorbed and radiated by earth?
a. earth’s atmosphere absorbs a larger fraction of total solar energy than it radiates.
b. more than 90% of the solar energy that strikes earth is absorbed.
c. earth’s surface is responsible for absorbing a larger fraction of energy than it radiates.
d. none of the above.

D. None of the above.

Earth’s atmosphere radiates a larger fraction of total solar energy than it absorbs, as well as the earth's lithosphere.

Since the sun's radiation is extremely dangerous our atmosphere specifically in the ozone layer of this sphere is responsible for deflecting some of the sun's solar energy. Moreover, the poles of the earth also plays a role during these solar cataclysmic events.

 None of the above.

Good Luck.
