radiation belts

Belts of energetic electrons, protons, and heavier ions encircling the earth and trapped in the geomagnetic field. The radiation belts are characterized by intense fluxes of high-energy radiation, creating a dangerous environment for spacecraft. The particle density and energy spectrum, as well as the physical characteristics of the belts, depend on the level of solar activity.
