That is important for the earth’s climate. 70{154653b9ea5f83bbbf00f55de12e21cba2da5b4b158a426ee0e27ae0c1b44117} of the earth’s surface is ocean. Just like the atmosphere, this is a transparent medium. So transparency is worth considering. In addition the heat content of the ocean is significantly greater than that of the atmosphere.
