Do astronauts go through deadly and perilous radiation belts going to the moon?
No, there are no "Radiation belts between the Earth and Moon. However. they do travel through the "Van Allen Belt". this is a "Belt" created by the earth's magnetic field that shields the earth from the some of the ratiation of the Sun and outerspace. Once an astronaut is outside of this "Belt" they are exposed to a higher level of radiation. The Van Allen Belt is highest at the earth's equator and lowest at the earths poles.
How long would it to Sirius in a space shuttle?
Space shuttles are not designed to operate outside of a low-earth orbit, where they are protected from deadly radiation by the earth's magnetic field; a mission to Sirius by a space shuttle is not even possible. For more information on the earth's radiation protective field, see the Wikipedia article:Van Allen radiation belt
Where is location of the Van Allen Radiation Belts?
In my house
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.
This faraway layer contains the van Allen radiation belt?
yes
What is another word for earths magnetic field?
= An effect of the magnetic field is "Van Allen radiation belt" =
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.
Cosmic rays trapped in the earth's magnetic field make up?
The Van Allen radiation belts
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 planet has a Van Allen belt?
Planet Earth has a Van Allen radiation belt, layers of energetic charged particles suspended by a magnetic field.
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.
What happens in the van Allen radiation belts?
radiation gets sent back and fourth.

Van Allen.

How does the earths magnetic field help life to be sustained on earth?
the radiation charges or ionizes the air in the upper atmosphere. the charged air conducts and acts like a wire passing thru a magnetic field which shields the earth from other particles and rays look for Van Allen belts
