But the rest of it is reflected back up into space, to get to space it first has to pass through the atmosphere again. And this is where the problem is, the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which are made up of CO2, methane etc, stop the solar radiation from passing through. And then they trap it in the atmosphere, Hence why the Earth is warming up.
