Säteilyvyöhykkeiden
Säteilyvyöhykkeiden, known in English as radiation belts or Van Allen belts, are regions of energetic charged particles held in place by the Earth's magnetic field. These particles, primarily electrons and protons, originate from solar wind and cosmic rays. The Earth's magnetosphere acts as a shield, trapping these particles within two distinct, donut-shaped belts.
The inner belt, closer to Earth, consists mainly of high-energy protons and electrons. The outer belt contains
These radiation belts pose a challenge for spacecraft and satellites, as the high-energy particles can damage
