Discover the fascinating world of the Van Allen Belts, two radiation zones that encircle our planet! 🌍 Learn how these belts act as Earth's protective shield, trapping harmful solar radiation and charged particles. Dive into the science behind their formation and understand the challenges they pose, including potential damage to satellites and electronics. Plus, uncover the mystery of the temporary third belt discovered in 2013. This video is a must-watch for space enthusiasts and science lovers alike! • 🔹 Keywords: Van Allen Belts, radiation zones, solar radiation, charged particles, satellite damage, 2013 third belt. • 🔹 Hashtags: #SpaceScience #VanAllenBelts #EarthsProtection #SolarRadiation #SpaceExploration • If you find this video informative, don't forget to like and share it with your friends who love space exploration! 🚀👨‍🚀 • Earth has several bands of magnetically trapped, highly energetic charged particles surrounding our planet, known as the Van Allen belts (named after the discoverer of the phenomenon.) While we've known about the belts since the dawn of the space age, the Van Allen Probes (launched in 2012) have provided our best-ever view of them. They've uncovered quite a few surprises along the way. • We now know that the belts expand and contract according to solar activity. Sometimes the belts are very distinct from one another, and sometimes they swell into one massive unit. An extra radiation belt (beyond the known two) was spotted in 2013. Understanding these belts helps scientists make better predictions about space weather or solar storms. • Source: By Elizabeth Howell, Vicky Stein( space.com-astronomy )Contributions from Daisy Dobrijevic published March 2, 2022
