The document introduces the Van Allen radiation belts, which are zones of charged particles trapped by Earth's magnetic field. There are two main belts composed of energetic protons and electrons. Radiation occurs as atoms give off energy through heat and energy transfer. Some questions are raised about whether the belts can be manipulated through electromagnetic waves from experiments. The radiation belts can impact satellite electronics and human crews, so shielding is needed. Removing the belts could help reduce disruptions to communication from plasma. In conclusion, similar radiation belts also exist around other planets like Jupiter.
