The process is a bit like smashing the egg. A single photon of high frequency is absorbed by the Earth like the egg falling to the ground, and then the Earth kicks out many photons of low energy like bits of eggshell. The Earth benefits by a net decrease in its own entropy, and we witness order emerging out of chaos. But consider the whole system of the Earth and Sun, and entropy is indeed increasing just as the second law of thermodynamics demands.
