PLEASE HELP ASAP According to the net radiation budget, 48% of the incoming solar radiation is
absorbed by Earth's surface. Explain what this does to the particles that make up
Earth and how this helps to keep Earth's surface warm.

If the temperature of the earth rises, the planet rapidly emits an increasing amount of heat to space. The atmosphere and the surface of the earth together absorb 71 percent of incoming solar radiation, so together, they must radiate that much energy back to space for the planet's average temperature to remain stable.
