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.
The earths magnetic shield has?
existed since the planet cooled
What is the transfer of energy from the sun to earths surface?
Because of the heat and light
What is the earths sunblock?
The ozone layer acts as a sort of 'sunblock' for the earth, limiting the amount of UV radiation that enters the atmosphere.
What is the term for smaller movements of the earths crust that follow an earthquake?
Aftershocks.
What is the term for solar radiation that reaches the earth's surface?
The solar radiation that reaches the earths surface from the sun is called INSOLATION
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 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 are earths raidiation belts made from?
it is made from leather.
What happens in the van Allen radiation belts?
radiation gets sent back and fourth.
The earths surface transfers heat to the atmosphere primarily by?
the answer is radiation
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.
Where is location of the Van Allen Radiation Belts?
In my house

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 does the earths surface emit?
Infrared radiation.
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
