Not technically.

The YLD isn't pronounced together.The same with the words spied and glide, which can effectively end in a "duh."

From Old Italian parasole, from parare to shield + sole sun.
What type of radiation is the hardest to shield against?
Gamma radiation is the hardest type of radiation to shield against because it has high energy and penetrates most materials easily. Dense materials such as lead and concrete are commonly used to shield against gamma radiation.
What gas is called the natural shield against the radiation?
Ozone shields against incoming UV radiation
What type of radiation does paper have?
Paper does not produce radiation on its own. However, paper can shield against some forms of radiation, such as alpha radiation, due to its physical properties.
What kind of material should you NOT use to shield against beta radiation?
Materials that should not be used to shield against beta radiation include materials with low atomic numbers, such as plastic or wood, as they are not dense enough to effectively stop beta particles. Materials with higher atomic numbers, such as lead or dense metals, are more effective for shielding against beta radiation.
List 3 practices that are recommended to reduce internal radiation exposure?

What radiation is most penetrating?
The gamma radiation is extremely penetrant.
What is the most dangerous type of radiation and how can it be effectively shielded against?
The most dangerous type of radiation is ionizing radiation, such as gamma rays and X-rays. It can be effectively shielded against by using dense materials like lead or concrete, which absorb and block the radiation. Lead aprons and protective barriers are commonly used in medical settings to shield against ionizing radiation.
What form of ionizing radiation is the most penetrating?
Gamma radiation is the most penetrating form of ionizing radiation. It can pass through most materials and requires dense materials, such as lead or concrete, to effectively shield against it.
What is the the inner core important?
It is the source of earth's magnetic field, which produces an extremely important shield against harmful solar radiation.
How thick does lead need to be in order to effectively stop radiation?
Lead is commonly used to shield against radiation because it is dense and effective at absorbing radiation. To effectively stop radiation, lead typically needs to be at least 1 inch thick.
