Final answer:

Earth's energy budget explains the equilibrium between incoming solar energy and outgoing reflected/emitted energy.


Explanation:

Earth's energy budget describes the flow of energy in and out of the Earth system, balancing incoming solar radiation with outgoing energy from reflection and infrared emission. Approximately 29% of incoming solar energy is reflected back to space, while 48% is absorbed at the Earth's surface. This energy balance is crucial for Earth's temperature stability over time.
