Best Answer

Cosmic rays flux at high latitudes are almost 20% more than at equator, from 60° to 90° of latitude none increment due to rigidity cutoff. The flux also increase with altitude.

Can you stop cosmic ray shower?

No, you cannot stop a cosmic ray shower. You can block cosmic rays using various materials, but you cannot prevent them from entering Earth's atmosphere.


Why do areas closer to the equator have warmer air than areas farther away?

the sun's radiation is concentrated in smaller area near the equator


Why is the equator warm and poles cold?

Because of the Earth's tilt towards the sun and the spherical shape of the Earth, the equatorial region receives more direct sunlight than the poles do.Note that it has nothing to do with the equator being any closer to the sun than the poles; in fact, on its annual journey, the Earth's distance from the sun varies by about three millionmiles. What's important here is the angle of the sun's rays: the equator gets all that energy head-on and year-round, while the poles (even during the height of summer) never do.


Where can you watch cosmic quantum ray?

Not unlike wind, the human eye can't see cosmic rays directly, but their effects can be made quite visible, using various techniques. In cloud or bubble chambers, the cosmic ray collides with sufficient energy to leave a visible trail, albeit somewhat briefly, but the path of the cosmic ray becomes easily apparent. In spark chambers a technique using charged plates can cause sparks to jump between plates when the path of a cosmic ray creates an ionization channel along its path. Other techniques involve materials which will generate light when a cosmic ray strikes its surface, which can trigger electronics to amplify or make audible. The word 'quantum' may be somewhat redundant in this context; remembering that a cosmic ray is actually made of of particles, be they protons or atomic nuclei traveling at high speed - they are really matter and not electromagnetic radiation as the name might suggest. Since matter does exist in discrete physical units or quanta, loosely one might say that all matter is quantized.

What is a cosmic ray?

Cosmic ray: A ray of radiation of extraterrestrial origin, consisting of one or more charged particles such as protons, alpha particles, and larger atomic nuclei. Cosmic rays entering the atmosphere collide with atoms, producing secondary radiation, such as pions, muons, electrons, and gamma rays. Cosmic rays (and secondary radiation) can be easily seen in a cloud chamber.(American Heritage Dictionary, 2005)
