The two doughnut-shaped regions above the Earth's surface that contain high-speed electrons and protons are known as the Van Allen radiation belts. These belts are composed of charged particles trapped by Earth's magnetic field and extend from about 1,000 kilometers to 60,000 kilometers above the Earth. They play a crucial role in protecting the planet from solar and cosmic radiation. The inner belt primarily contains high-energy protons, while the outer belt is dominated by electrons.
No, magnetic domains are not regions of space above Earth's surface; rather, they are small regions within magnetic materials where groups of atoms have their magnetic moments aligned in the same direction. This alignment gives rise to the overall magnetism of the material. The regions of space above Earth's surface where charged particles, such as electrons and protons, travel at high speeds are known as the magnetosphere, which is influenced by Earth's magnetic field.
The atomic nucleus and the cloud of electrons.
Electrons are found floating in the clouds, specifically in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus of an atom. Protons and neutrons, on the other hand, are located in the nucleus of the atom and do not float in clouds. The electron cloud represents the regions where electrons are likely to be found, while protons and neutrons remain confined within the atomic nucleus.
Yes, this is the nucleus. It is composed of a number of protons and neutrons (except Hydrogen, which has 1 proton and zero neutrons). Both protons and neutrons have about the same mass (which is much more massive relative to the electron). A proton has a positive electric charge, and a neutron does not have an electric charge.
An atom is containing of electrons, protons, neutrons and other sub atomic particles. Normally the two major regions that comprise the view of the modern atom are nucleus and the electron cloud. The electrons are moving in the electron shell and the nucleus provide space for protons, neutrons, and sub atomic particles.

The electron cloud represents the regions where electrons are likely to be found, while protons and neutrons remain confined within the atomic nucleus.
In general, the nucleus and the electron cloud are the two distinct features of the volume of the atom. The nucleus is home to the proton(s) and whatever neutrons are present, and the electron cloud is where the electrons all hang out. The nucleus, with its protons and neutrons, has most of an atom's mass concentrated there. The electrons are relatively far away, and the orbits they describe give the atom its "shape" by defining its volume in space.
Electrons are the negatively charged particles on the outside of an atom-- they orbit the protons/neutrons forming a cloud of electrons because they move so fastNiels Bohr proposed that every atom possesses an orbiting cloud of tiny subatomic particles electrons- around coreAt center, small dense nucleus made of protons and neutronsjhfjp'ds' s s'rElectronsOrbitals- regions that lie at varying distances around nucleus where the electrons areNeutral atoms- atoms with same number of protons and electrons = neutral, no net chargeMaintain orbitals from attraction to positive but can gain/lose electronsIons- atoms in which the number of electrons does not equal number of protons --> chargedCation- more protons than electrons= positive chargeAnion- fewer protons than electrons= negative charge

Yes, streams of protons and electrons from the sun interact with Earth's magnetic field to create the Aurora Borealis. When these charged particles collide with atoms in the Earth's atmosphere, they produce colorful light displays in the polar regions.
an atom has two subatomic particles which are neutrons and protons in the nucleus or "center" and electrons surrounding the nucleus in orbitals, "orbit like" regions of space outside the nucleus.
