The inner or, outter van Allen 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.
The Van Allen belts are composed of charged particles from the solar wind that became captured in the Earth's magnetic field. Deflection of charged particles
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).
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!
Planet Earth has a Van Allen radiation belt, layers of energetic charged particles suspended by a magnetic field.
Their spacecraft was enough to protect them from the Van Allen belt. The radiation they received while going through it was no more than a normal chest x-ray.

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.
Van Allen Radiation Belt
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.
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.
The Van Allen belt.
A Van Allen Radiation Belt (there are actually two persistent belts, while transient third belts are occasionally observed) is a torus of energetic charged particles (plasma) around Earth, held in place by Earth's magnetic field. The Van Allen belts are closely related to the polar aurora where particles strike the upper atmosphere and fluoresce.
The Van Allen Radiation Belts are trapped in the Earth's geomagnetic fields. There are two belts which are toroidal(shaped like donuts or bagels) with Earth at the center. Both belts, an inner belt and an outer belt, are composed of plasma (highly energetic charged particles such as electrons and protons).The Van Allen belts are oddly shaped toroids, however, because their shape is distorted by the "Solar Wind" of particles streaming from the Sun. The Earth, rotating at the center of the toroids, is roughly 8,000 miles (13,000 km) wide and nearly circular. The outer Van Allen belt extends roughly 8,000 miles (13,000 km) into space on the sunny side of the Earth and roughly 56,000 miles (91,000 km) into space on the dark side. The inner belt extends roughly 1/2 the distances of the outer belt.magnetosphere
It has liquid waterIt has lifeIt has a magnetic barrier (Van Allen Belt)It has a MoonIt is the densest planet in the Solar System.
