Explanation / Answer

The light absorbed by the Earth's surface from Sun is more than the emissions by atmosphere. Sun is the source of light and after receiving the light, 161 W per sqm is absorbed by the earth's surface and the atmosphere emits 169 W per sqm back to the space which never reaches earth.
