What is meant by the term background radiation?

Cosmic radiation and radiation from terrestrial sources are examples of?
Natural background radiation
What is the leftover thermal energy from the big bang?
The radiation left over from the big bang is found in the microwave region of the electromagnetic spectrum. As the universe expanded and cooled, the intense hard gamma radiation that existed became radio waves in the low gigahertz region, characteristic of a temperature around 30 Kelvin.
Radiation that individuals are exposed to on a continuing basis which is considered non life threatening is also known as this kind of radiation?
Background radiation.

Is there a difference between background radiation and background count rate?
There is a subtle difference. Background count rate is the measure of how strong the background radiation is.
What can one do to protect oneself from background radiation?
Background radiation come from black body radiation which is mostly infrared and microwave. Background radiation is not harmful at all. Fear from background radiation come from confusion of the word radiation where we mostly concern nuclear radiation, but light is also a form of radiation and we live within the bright day light on a normal basis.
Where do background ultraviolent radiation come form?
If you are referring to 3k background radiation, the Big Bang.
What caused the cosmic radiation background?

What month did Arno Penzias's discover background radiation?
Penzias and Wilson discovered background radiation on October 7,1965.
What is the background radiation?
Background radiation - is the 'natural' radiation of the Earth. There are radioactive ores naturally present in the ground that give off small amounts of radiation. This is detectable by instruments, but is of no consequence to humans or animals.
