The Van Allen belt, named after its discover James Van Allen, is located in the inner region of the earth's magnetosphere. Electrons form the outer belt while a combination of electrons and protons make up the inner belt.

∙ 11y agoThe Van Allen radiation belts occur in the outer twoatmospheric layers of the earth. These are the thermosphereand (beyond that) the exosphere.
They are located primarily in the Exosphere 1000s of kilometres above the Earth's surface but in some areas do drop as low as 200 km alititude.

Is the atmosphere the densest layer of the earth?
No. The atmosphere is the least dense layer. The densest layer is the inner core.
What is the inner or lowest layer of the earths atmosphere?
The Troposphere is the innermost layer of the atmosphere. For more information, visit:www.vtaide.com/png/atmosphere.htm
What layer of the atmosphere contains ozone that filters uv radiation?
The ozone layer.
How the atmosphere acts as shield from harmful radiation from outer-space?
the ozone layer
Which layer of the atmosphere contains the ionosphere and what are the ionosphere's characteristics?
The thermosphere contains the ionosphere. The ionosphere is the layer that is ionized by the solor radiation.
Is the atmosphere the densest layer of the earth?
No. The atmosphere is the least dense layer. The densest layer is the inner core.

What is the lowest or inner layer of the atmosphere?
troposphere
Which part of atmosphere screens out the harmful radiation from sun?
the ozone layer is the the part of the atmosphere that screens out harmful radiation from the sun.
What is the layer of the earth's atmosphere ionized by solar radiation?
Not sure about it. But I remembered this layer of the atmosphere called the ionosphere or the thermosphere.
What is the layer of the atmosphere exposed to the suns radiation?
The Thermosphere
What layer of the atmosphere contains ozone that filters uv radiation?
The ozone layer.
What determines a temperature of a layer of the atmosphere?
The way the layer interacts with solar radiation.
How much radiation does the atmosphere absorb?
The atmosphere absorbs most of the radiation. The ozone layer absorbs most of the UV rays.
What things in the atmosphere affect the path of radiation from from the sun?
The things that affect are in atmosphere. It is basically a layer called ozone layer.
This faraway layer contains the van Allen radiation belt?
yes
What two features of earth protect us from the sun's radiation?
strong magnetic field deflects charged particle radiation around the earthozone layer absorbs much of the ultraviolet electromagnetic radiation as it enters the atmosphere
