The Van Allen belts are composed of charged particles from the solar wind that became captured in the Earth's magnetic field.

The Van Allen Radiation Belt touches the Earth at the poles and extends out into space up to 19,000 kilometers in a circular shape before coming back around to the opposite pole. Google Van Allen in Google Images for pictures.

What are the magnetic radiation belts around the earth?
The inner or, outter van Allen belt.
What does the Van Allen Belt have to do with the north and south pole?
The charged particles flowing through space around the Earth follow the lines of magnetic force, resulting in a higher concentration of these particles in two toroidal bands curving outward from pole to pole. The radiation belts are called the Van Allen Belts after scientist James Van Allen (1914-2006).
What layer of the atmosphere can you find inner van Allen radiation belt?
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.
Are van Allen belts hazardous?
Only if you plan to live there for a while :) Are they hazardous, the micro wave above us is for our protection, like the bars on a baby's crib, they keep the baby from falling out, are they Hazardous? only if they are not there! Is the Van Allen Belt hazardous to life? YES!
Can all of the earth water evaporate?
In long geological time, all (or essentially all) of the Earth's free water will be evaporated. When the Earth is engulfed by the Red dwarf stage of the Sol's life cycle, the water will all evaporate. Another condition may cause the loss of the Earth's water. This is when the interior of the Earth cools sufficiently as to halt the movement in the Mantle, and this will essentially extinguish of the Earth's magnetic Field. This will lead to the collapse of the Van Allen radiation belts, and the Solar Wind will be able to strip the Earth of atmosphere and any water vapour. These two events are a long time away. But the second of these events was probably the cause of the present condition of Mars. No water and no atmosphere (essentially).
Where is location of the Van Allen Radiation Belts?
In my house
What is a term for earths radiation belts?
The Van Allen belts
Why the Van Allen belts are hazardous to astronauts and satellites?
The Van Allen Belts are full of dangerous cosmic radiation. Radiation is harmful to humans and has a tendency to destroy electronic gear.
What are the Van Allen belts?
The Van Allen radiation belts are layers of plasma particles that are around the earth in the magnetosphere. These radiation belts were confirmed to exist in 1958 by James Van Allen. There is an outer and inner belt. The belts can cause problems for both satellites and any rockets or other vehicles that travel through the belts.
Can man pass through the van allen belts?
A man can pass through the van allen belts. I believe the question you may be asking is, can a man safely pass through the van allen belts? The answer to that is maybe. The van allen radiation belts are filled with radiation and an unprotected person passing through it may be exposed to lethal amounts of radiation. Hence, manned space missions that pass through this must be adequately shielded against radiation.
What happens in the van Allen radiation belts?
radiation gets sent back and fourth.
What do the van Allen belts do?
solar radiation. as the solar wind hits the earth's magnetic fields, it is mostly diverted away from the earth. but some radiation gets caught in the field, and those are the van Allen radiation belts. Aurora borealis
What is the name of the radiation belts surrounding the earth that were discovered in 1958?
The Van Allen Belts are the radiation belts surrounding the Earth. They were discovered in 1958 by NASA's astronomers and scientists.
What is donut shaped radiation belts?
The donut shaped radiation belts around the Earth are called the Van Allen Belts. There are similar belts around every planet with a magnetic field.
Explorer 1 discovered what radiation belts around the planet earth?
Van Allen
What are the magnetic radiation belts around the earth?
The inner or, outter van Allen belt.
Why do charged particles from the sun (the solar wind) get trapped in the van Allen radiation belts?
The Van Allen belts are caused by Earth's magnetic field. Charged particles are deflected in the presence of a magnetic field.
