It is waste from the Earth and other surrounding planets, these are known as meteorites these can contact the Earth's surface any time. So they are quite destructive and deadly when they hit Earth, it messes up the food web

What rays are formed when cosmic rays hit the earth?

When the primary cosmic rays from space enter Earth's atmosphere, they immediately begin to collide with other particles and then those collide with other atoms, and so on, creating a "shower" of particles, which can be several kilometers wide. The energy with which they encounter the atmosphere is such that the collision can split atoms, nuclei, and other particles, which secondary particles then can decay abd enit radation as part of the shower; these can reach the Earth's surface as protons, neutrons, antiprotons, electrons, alpha particles, pion, muons, etc., and electromagnetic radiation like x-rays.


Can all of the earths energy find its way out of earths atmosphere?

No. Most of Earth's stored energy is within matter and it will not "find its way out of earths atmosphere" on it's own. The only energy that leaves Earth is radiant energy (some heat, light, radio energy, etc) or matter that is thrown out of the atmosphere by cosmic collisions. Some particles and element (e.g. hydrogen) may also be lost to space as Earth orbits our sun.


What are solar winds made of?

The sun radiates huge amounts of light, and it also sends out a continuous stream of charged particles. These charged particles, which are ejected from the upper solar atmosphere, are primarily electrons and protons. And they are the primary constituents of what is called the solar wind, which is the name we give to this plasma that streams out from the sun on a continuous basis. A link can be found below to the Wikipedia post on the solar wind. More information can be found there. a constant stream of particles that are blown from all directions to the sun
