Does the Earth accumulate the energy it receives from the Sun, or does it reflect all of it back into space?

Question

I understand that the sun gives energy primarily in the form of sunlight, which contains various wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation. If the earth absorbs some of the energy, does the earth’s “total energy” accumulate?

Answer 1

most of the energy is radiated away as heat, but more is comming in than leaving, hence why the earth is warming.

all forms of energy on earth eventualy dissapate as heat and radiate away, there is no magically accumulaying thing like you are thinking with waves/wind
