Radiation is a risk to all space and earth travelers. Your space radiation exposure increases when you take an international flight. The earth's magnetic field protects us from most cosmic radiation. The Apollo Astronauts (as all astronauts) were exposed to increased radiation when they traveled outside of earth's magnetic field from two sources. First, the relatively stable galactic radiation from deep space. Second, variable Solar radiation from the Sun which we call Solar Activity. So the answer is radiation did penetrate the Apollo 13 spacecraft during their journey, as it does all spacecraft, just not enough to make the crew sick or significantly increase their risk of cancer.

What else can I help you with?
Is there any radiation on the Moon from the Sun?
Yes, the Moon is exposed to solar radiation, including radiation in the form of sunlight and solar wind particles. However, the lack of an atmosphere on the Moon means that these forms of radiation are not filtered or absorbed, resulting in a harsh radiation environment on the surface.
Why does the full moon come first in the moon cycle?
it doesnt
What doesnt the moon produce?
Bananas.
When does the moon appear orange?
it doesnt
Character of the new moon of Stephenie Meyer?
she doesnt act in new moon
Why doesn't the moon have a sufficient atmosphere?
because the moon doesnt exist, it never has:)
What do you do if your face doesnt work?
send it to the moon
What percentage of the total solar radiation that reaches the moon is reflected?
About 11% of the total solar radiation that reaches the Moon is reflected back into space. This reflectivity is known as the Moon's albedo, which is relatively low compared to Earth. The majority of the solar radiation is absorbed by the lunar surface, contributing to the Moon's temperature variations.
What causes the rising of the moon each day?
the moon doesnt rise. the earth rotates
Does the moon have radiation on the surface?
Yes, the moon's surface is exposed to cosmic radiation from space due to its lack of atmosphere to shield it. The radiation levels on the moon's surface are higher than on Earth, but astronauts are protected by their spacesuits and spacecraft when exploring the lunar surface.
Why does edward have to die in new moon?
he doesnt die!
Which process explains the transfer of heat from the sun to the moon?
The transfer of heat from the sun to the moon occurs primarily through radiation. Solar radiation, which consists of electromagnetic waves, travels through the vacuum of space and reaches the moon's surface. When this radiation encounters the moon, it is absorbed, warming the lunar surface. Unlike conduction or convection, radiation does not require a medium to transfer heat, making it the dominant process in this context.
