-2 Earth receives 341 watts m of incoming solar radiation. Of this, 79 watts m is reflected by clouds before it reach the surface. An additional 23 watts m is reflected by the Earth's surface. Nearly 78 -2 watts m is absorbed by the atmosphere. The remaining energy is absorbed by the Earth's surface. How many watts m -2 are absorbed by the Earth's surface?
