The atmosphere and its impurities probably deflect on an average more than three-fourths of the insolation by absorp- tion, reflection, and refraction. Little or none of such energy ever reaches the earth itself. Clouds and dust play an im- portant role in such interception, affecting to a marked degree the energy received at any particular location. Part of the original insolation reaching the earth's surface is immediately reflected and is lost as radiant energy, having undergone no ^The earth and its atmosphere receives but one two-billionth of the sun's energy.
