Neutrinos are not harmful to Earth or its inhabitants. They interact extremely weakly with matter and pass through our planet as well as us without causing any harm. Millions of neutrinos pass through us every second without us even noticing.

Can neutrinos change into other types of neutrinos?

Yes; the scienific terminology for this phenomenon is "neutrino oscillation". Neutrinos exist in three different flavours - electron, muon and tao neutrinos, listed in order of increasing mass (each also has an antiparticle). Although it is not know why this is the case, it was originally discovered that neutrinos oscillate when examining the neutrinos emitted by the sun; although primarily electron neutrinos are emitted as a result of the fusion process within the sun, the quantities of the different flavours of neutrinos detected on Earth from the sun are in roughly equal proportions.


Can neutrinoes pass through all matirials in the Earth?

Neutrinos can pass through most materials in the Earth, including rock and metal, with almost no interactions due to their extremely weak interaction with matter. However, some materials, like lead or water, may absorb or scatter neutrinos to a small extent. Overall, neutrinos are able to travel through vast amounts of matter without being significantly absorbed or deflected.


Do solar neutrino carry energy?

Yes, solar neutrinos do carry energy. Neutrinos are extremely light, neutral particles that are produced in nuclear reactions within the Sun's core. The energy carried by solar neutrinos can affect processes such as nuclear reactions on Earth.


What about the neutrino coming from space?

Neutrinos are high energy particles. Earth is bombarded with more than million neutrinos every day that pass right through the earth, and everything on it. So they are very hard to detect, but special techniques have been developed for this too.


What is a solar neutrinos?

Solar neutrinos are electron neutrinos that are in the sun. The sun is what produces nuclear fusion.


What are the different flavors of neutrinos and how do they differ from each other?

Neutrinos come in three flavors: electron neutrinos, muon neutrinos, and tau neutrinos. These flavors are distinguished by the type of charged lepton they are associated with - electron, muon, or tau. Neutrinos can change between these flavors through a process called neutrino oscillation, which is a unique property of neutrinos.


How many neutrinos from supernova SN 1987A were detected on Earth?

There are somewhere around 65 billion neutrinos per second passing through every square centimeter perpendicular to the Sun. By far the majority of those also come out the other side... baryonic matter is essentially transparent to neutrinos.


How do measurements of neutrinos from the sun pose a problem for modern astronomy?

At present, no problems. 15 years ago, scientists had no explanation for the small number of solar neutrinos detected at our Earth. Either we didn't understand neutrino formation in our Sun, our detectors were wrong, or neutrinos had the capacity to decay. The latter seemed to be the least likely possibility, so scientists argued for many years which of the first two was correct. In 1998 it was discovered that neutrinos do, indeed, decay into other neutrinos. The reason we weren't seeing as many neutrinos as we expected was because the ones we were expecting to see had decayed into other types. So the solar neutrino problem is no longer a problem.


What are neutrinos-?

Neutrinos are subatomic particles, which exist in three "flavours" - the electron, muon and tao neutrino (listed in order of increasing ass); each of these also has a respective antiparticle. Most of the neutrinos incident on the Earth are "Solar Neutrinos" (neaning that they are emitted by the sun. The neutrinos oscillate between the different "flavours", which are determined by their respective masses, and are extremely unreactive - more than 50 trillion neutrinos go the human body every second! As the masses of the neutrinos are very minimal - virtually zero - neutrinos travel at near-light speed.There have been several experiments dedicated to the detection of neutrinos, the most notable being T2K and SNO amongst others; SNO is currently being re-activated with enhanced detection prospects through the use of an organic scintillating fluid, as is now named SNO+.


What are the uses of neutrino?

Neutrinos are similar to electrons, but are different, in that neutrinos do not carry electric charges.
