While some of the energy is doubtless absorbed by the atmosphere (this is the problem with GHGs by the way - they absorb reflected energy) if it is reflected from the ground at least some (most actually) will escape back into space. for example, many cities are getting hotter in part because all the concrete absorbs heat and re-emits it at night.

The dye absorbs light at a short wavelength -- blue light, for instance -- and re-emits the energy at a longer wavelength, a process called fluorescence.
