What is the difference between artificial and natural radiation?

Artificial radiation is produced by human-made sources, such as nuclear reactors, medical X-rays, and certain industrial processes, while natural radiation comes from naturally occurring radioactive materials in the environment, such as cosmic rays, radon gas, and uranium in the soil. The primary distinction lies in the origin: artificial radiation is a result of human activities, whereas natural radiation is part of the Earth's background radiation. Both types can affect living organisms, but their sources, exposure levels, and regulations differ significantly.


Who invented first artificial rain?

The first documented attempt at creating artificial rain was by James Pollard Espy in 1839 using controlled fires to create updrafts. However, the first successful use of modern cloud seeding techniques for artificial rain is often credited to Vincent Schaefer in 1946, when he used dry ice to seed clouds and produce precipitation.
