The sun gives energy and the earth receives the sun’s energy. The way the earth interacts with the sun’s energy can be displayed in a picture called the earth’s energy budget（预算）. It displays the sun’s energy that reaches us and how much of that energy is taken in and how much is thrown back by the earth and its air. Once the energy reaches the earth, some of it is taken by land and oceans. The amount of energy that is taken in influences the temperatures. The energy that is not taken in is thrown back to space.
Generally, the amount of energy coming in is equal to the amount of energy going out. So, we say the earth’s energy budget is balanced. If more energy was coming in than was going out, the earth’s temperature would increase. On the other hand, if too much energy is thrown back, and not taken in, we would see the earth’s temperature dropping.
Of all of the sun’s energy that hits the earth, about 67% is taken in by the land, oceans, air and clouds and about 33% is thrown back into space.

After shaking the east coast of Honshu, Japan on March 11, the earthquake has caused more than 10, 000 deaths and 17, 000 people missing. In downtown of Tokyo, buildings shook and frightened citizen blocked out all the streets and roads. The tsunami（飓风）afterwards, which caused more deaths and injury, made Japanese people unable to cheer up. “Now that our neighbors are in trouble,” the Foreign Ministry spokesman said, “we are in our turn to give a hand.

They have volunteered to put seawater on dangerous nuclear fuel（核燃料）to cool it down, to prevent thousands of tons of radioactive dust high into the air. Some scientists suggest that the leaking is harmful to human being and may influence human body through rain or snow from the sky in the future.
