Nuclear radiations generally come from radioactive substance those radioactive substance may be present at any where in space. Sun also has such radioactive substances which gives raises to fusion reaction in it. So nuclear radiation may be from any part of the space it may be from the nearby planet or from star, etc,.

How does radiation work in space?

Radiation in space primarily consists of high-energy particles, such as cosmic rays and solar radiation, which can travel through the vacuum of space at the speed of light. Unlike on Earth, where the atmosphere protects us from harmful radiation, space lacks such shielding, exposing spacecraft and astronauts to increased levels of ionizing radiation. This radiation can damage living cells and electronic components, necessitating protective measures in spacecraft design. Additionally, radiation can affect the behavior of materials and influence the conditions for life beyond Earth.


Why is it important for us to explore outer space?

Exploring outer space can lead to new scientific discoveries, advancements in technology, and a better understanding of our place in the universe. It also offers opportunities for economic growth and innovation. Additionally, studying outer space could help us prepare for potential future scenarios like asteroid impacts or climate change.


What is heat transfer through empty space?

Heat transfer through empty space is known as radiation. It does not require a medium (such as air or water) for heat to travel and can occur in a vacuum. This type of heat transfer is how the sun's energy reaches us on Earth.


What is the name given to elementary particles originating in the sun and other stars that continuously rain down on the earth?

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 do astronauts have to wear shield protection?

Everyone needs to be protected against radiation, because radiation in strong doses can Kill or injure. A small amount that a person receives in an x-ray will do no harm; but, too strong a dose of radiation is very dangerous. Radiation is greater in outer space than it is on the earth, because, we are protected from radiation on earth by the atmosphere. Astronauts in outer space have no such protection.
