Why do charged particles from the sun (the solar wind) get trapped in the van Allen radiation belts?

The Van Allen belts are caused by Earth's magnetic field. Charged particles are deflected in the presence of a magnetic field.

What is an area of charged particles that is formed as one effect of the magnetic lines of force around the earth called?

Such areas are called Van Allen belts.


The location of the Van Allen Radiation Belts?

The Van Allen belts are composed of charged particles from the solar wind that became captured in the Earth's magnetic field. Deflection of charged particles


What does the Van Allen Belt have to do with the north and south pole?

The charged particles flowing through space around the Earth follow the lines of magnetic force, resulting in a higher concentration of these particles in two toroidal bands curving outward from pole to pole. The radiation belts are called the Van Allen Belts after scientist James Van Allen (1914-2006).


When the solar wind reaches earth charged particles are deflected from earth and trapped in two huge rings in earths magnetic field called what?

Those are the Van Allen belts.


Does the Troposphere extend to the Van Allen Belts of radiation?

The Troposphere is the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere. Weather occurs in the Troposphere. The Van Allen Belts are made up of charged particles that have been captured by Earth's magnetic field. The particles sometimes enter the ionosphere, a layer of the Earth's atmosphere much higher than the Troposphere. The Northern and Southern lights are the result of these ions entering the Ionosphere. The Van Allen Belts are doughnut shaped and extend for 7,000 miles out into space.


What are the Van Allen belts?

The Van Allen radiation belts are layers of plasma particles that are around the earth in the magnetosphere. These radiation belts were confirmed to exist in 1958 by James Van Allen. There is an outer and inner belt. The belts can cause problems for both satellites and any rockets or other vehicles that travel through the belts.


Where are Van Allen belts found?

A Van Allen Radiation Belt (there are actually two persistent belts, while transient third belts are occasionally observed) is a torus of energetic charged particles (plasma) around Earth, held in place by Earth's magnetic field. The Van Allen belts are closely related to the polar aurora where particles strike the upper atmosphere and fluoresce.
