Best Answer

Stars are constantly emitting solar radiation, or CMEs (coronal mass ejections). Earth is a target to solar radiation, but fortunately most radiation is either deflected Earth's magnetic field or ozone layer protecting us from it. Solar radiation is dangerous and lethal in outer space if exposed to it. Earth's magnetic field directs solar radiation to the poles and when it reacts with the atmosphere it lights up and creates the northern lights.

Why gravitational force is present between nucleus?

Gravitational force should exist between ANY pair of particles; but for individual particles, this force is extremely weak. It is the cumulative effect of lots of particles attracting each other that causes an enormous force between you and Earth, Sun and Earth, etc.Gravitational force should exist between ANY pair of particles; but for individual particles, this force is extremely weak.

What are the cosmic rays?

Cosmic rays are very high-energy particles, mostly originating from outside the solar system. Mainly they are composed of protons, alpha particles, or other atomic nuclei; their origin is thought to be from supernovae or galactic nuclei. They are considered separate and distinct from electromagnetic radiation detectable upon earth such as gamma rays.
