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.
Which contains bands of charged particles known as the van Allen belts?
magnetosphere
What is the result of the deflection of charged particles along the van Allen belts?
covection of the atom
What would happen if the Van Allen radiation did not exist?
Van Allen would have nothing named after himself and feel poorly about a life of obscurity.
What causes the part of earths magnetic field called the magnetosphere to exist?
Earth's magnetic field (and the surface magnetic field) is approximately a magnetic dipole, with one pole near the north pole and the other near the geographic south pole. The Inner Van Allen Belt & Outer Van Allen Belt cause the magnetic field.
What is a layer of charged particles above Earth called?
Van Allen Radiation 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.
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.
The location of the Van Allen Radiation Belts?
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 Van Allen belt which is made of Electrically charged Particles contains electrons and what other Particles?
protons
Where do charged particles in the Van Allen Belts mainly come from?
the van Allen belts are located in the universal space.
Which contains bands of charged particles known as the van Allen belts?
magnetosphere
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 is a result of the deflection of charged particles along the van Allen belt?
covection of the atom
What is the result of the deflection of charged particles along the van Allen belts?
covection of the atom
What are the areas around earth where particles from the sun are trapped called?
Van Allen Radiation Belt
What is a band of high radiation around the earth that captures particles given off by the sun?
The Van Allen belts.
