Just to bei more specific, the radiation from the sun which get's blocked/deflected by earths magnetic field are charged particles (e.g. alpha/beta-radiation).
The radiation which "heats" earth ist gamma-radiation in form of photons.
A good portion of those photons get reflected by clouds and ice (due to the reflectiveness of white surfaces), another part afterwards get's radiated as infrared-radiation.
The Difference between the incoming and (reflected + radiated) photons are the energy earth get's from the sun.
