How much of the energy the earth gets from the sun is in the visible spectrum?

Asked by 6rant6 (13700points) August 30th, 2012

The sun shines. Things here get hot. Black things reflect less energy than white things (or mirrors) and so get hotter. How much of the sun’s energy that the earth absorbs at ground level is in the visible spectrum?
