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.

Where do charged particles in the Van Allen Belts mainly come from?
the van Allen belts are located in the universal space.
What is a term for earths radiation belts?
The Van Allen belts
Cosmic rays trapped in the earth's magnetic field make up?
The Van Allen radiation belts
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.
What creates van Allen belts?
Earth magnetosphere
Where is location of the Van Allen Radiation 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.
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 is the name of the radiation belts surrounding the earth that were discovered in 1958?
The radiation belts surrounding the Earth that were discovered in 1958 are known as the Van Allen Belts, named after physicist James Van Allen who led the team responsible for their discovery. These belts are regions of highly energetic charged particles held in place by Earth's magnetic field.
Explorer 1 discovered what radiation belts around the planet earth?

What Rings the earth like the seam of a baseball?

What happens in the van Allen radiation belts?
radiation gets sent back and fourth.
