Difference between International Geophysical Year and Van Allen radiation belt

International Geophysical Year vs. Van Allen radiation belt

The International Geophysical Year (IGY; Année géophysique internationale) was an international scientific project that lasted from July 1, 1957, to December 31, 1958. A Van Allen radiation belt is a zone of energetic charged particles, most of which originate from the solar wind, that are captured by and held around a planet by that planet's magnetic field.

Similarities between International Geophysical Year and Van Allen radiation belt

International Geophysical Year and Van Allen radiation belt have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Cosmic ray, Earth's magnetic field, Explorer 1, Ionosphere, James Van Allen, NASA, Satellite, Space weather.

Cosmic ray

Cosmic rays are high-energy radiation, mainly originating outside the Solar System and even from distant galaxies.

Earth's magnetic field

Earth's magnetic field, also known as the geomagnetic field, is the magnetic field that extends from the Earth's interior out into space, where it meets the solar wind, a stream of charged particles emanating from the Sun.
