Earth's energy budget

Earth's energy budget is an accounting of how much energy enters the Earth's climate system from the Sun, how much energy is lost to space and accounts for the remainder as stored on the Earth and its atmosphere. Quantifying changes in these amounts is required to accurately model the Earth's climate.
