The Van Allen belts are radiation belts composed of high-energy protons and electrons trapped by Earth’s magnetic field, forming a doughnut-shaped ring around the planet. Recent observations indicate that the activity of the Van Allen belts is significantly influenced by solar wind and fluctuations in Earth’s magnetic field.
Recent Activity
- Increase in High-Energy Electrons:
- The high-energy electrons in the Van Allen belts can increase due to the influence of solar wind. Particularly during periods of high solar activity, the density of these electrons can vary greatly.
- Impact on Artificial Satellites:
- The increase in high-energy electrons can cause malfunctions in artificial satellites. Recent studies have identified the locations where electrons gain energy, which is expected to improve the operational safety of satellites.
- Impact of Ion Waves:
- When plasma waves, known as ion waves, occur, high-energy electrons can rain down towards Earth. This can lead to the disappearance of parts of the Van Allen belts.
Continuous observation and research are crucial due to the significant impact of Van Allen belt activity on the space environment around Earth
