... rays. Because the gas in the core is totally ionized, it is transparent to radiation and so the radiation passes through it freely. But as we get closer to the surface, the temperature drops, and more and more of the gas is not ionized or only partially ionized. Such a gas is opaque to radiation. At ...

... naturally emit a magnetic field, along with nickel, cobalt, neodymium, and a few others. The magnetic properties of Iron, if enough iron is present, can mask the earth’s magnetic field in localized areas. This property can cause large iron deposits to deflect a dip needle beyond what the earth can. ...

Van Allen radiation belt
A radiation belt is a layer of energetic charged particles that is held in place around a magnetized planet, such as the Earth, by the planet's magnetic field. The Earth has two such belts and sometimes others may be temporarily created. The discovery of the belts is credited to James Van Allen and as a result the Earth's belts bear his name. The main belts extend from an altitude of about 1,000 to 60,000 kilometers above the surface in which region radiation levels vary. Most of the particles that form the belts are thought to come from solar wind and other particles by cosmic rays. The belts are located in the inner region of the Earth's magnetosphere. The belts contain energetic electrons that form the outer belt and a combination of protons and electrons that form the inner belt. The radiation belts additionally contain less amounts of other nuclei, such as alpha particles. The belts endanger satellites, which must protect their sensitive components with adequate shielding if their orbit spends significant time in the radiation belts. In 2013, NASA reported that the Van Allen Probes had discovered a transient, third radiation belt, which was observed for four weeks until destroyed by a powerful, interplanetary shock wave from the Sun.
