VAN ALLEN BELTS OR VAN ALLEN RADIATION BELTS

Specialty Definition: VAN ALLEN BELTS OR VAN ALLEN RADIATION BELTS

DomainDefinition

Science

Doughnut-shaped regions encircling Earth and containing high energy electrons and ions trapped in the Earth's magnetic field (the magnetic field has definite boundaries, and is distorted into a tear-drop shape by the solar wind). Explorer I, launched by NASA in 1958, discovered this intense radiation zone. These regions are called the inner and outer Van Allen radiation belts, named after the scientist who first observed them. See magnetosphere. (references)
