Which of the following statements about earth’s energy budget are true? a. most energy reaches earth from space as visible light. b. most of the energy that leaves earth travels in the form of visible light. c. more than 99% of earth’s outgoing energy comes from energy brought to earth’s surface in volcanic eruptions. d. energy leaves earth’s system only during the daytime e. the thermal energy (heat) that you feel when you put your hand on the ground originates from the sun.

The correct answer is option e, that is, the thermal energy that one feels when one put the hand on the ground originates from the Sun.  

The Earth's energy budget holds for the equilibrium between the energy received by Earth from the Sun, and the energy Earth radiates back after having been dispersed all through the five constituents of the climate system of the Earth and having thus fueled the so-called heat engine of the Earth. This system comprises the Earth's water, atmosphere, ice, all living things, and rocky crust.  

E. The thermal energy (heat) that you feel when you put your hand on the ground originates from the sun.
