text: These cosmic rays are hitting Earth's atmosphere, creating a spray of secondary cosmic rays that shower toward the ground below.
text: When cosmic rays hit Earth’s atmosphere, they produce a spray of secondary particles that rain down on Earth’s surface.
text: Almost 90% of the cosmic rays which strike the Earth's atmosphere are protons (hydrogen nuclei) and about 9% are alpha particles.
text: Soviet-era mosaics illustrating cosmic rays hitting the Earth’s atmosphere adorn these walls at the station.
text: Since electrons and protons of a given energy are accelerated at the same high rate, but protons don’t radiate away their energy as electrons do, Uchiyama’s team argues that protons will be accelerated to the higher energies needed to match the energies seen in cosmic rays striking Earth’s atmosphere.
text: They hit the Earth's atmosphere and collide with air atoms.
text: His theory is that cosmic rays, which are extremely fast-flying particles – which originate from dying supernovae – travel through the cosmos, strike the Earth’s atmosphere and have a major impact on cloud cover and thus climate on the Earth’s surface.
text: We know that when cosmic rays hit Earth's atmosphere, they produce a shower of electrically charged "secondary" particles or ions.
text: When cosmic rays hit Earth's atmosphere, they generate a shower of other particles, including muons, which are essentially much heavier versions of their cousin the electron.
text: These cosmic rays are hitting Earth’s atmosphere, creating a spray of secondary cosmic rays that shower toward the ground below — secondary cosmic rays are what we measure.
text: Some researchers have held the belief that cosmic rays hitting Earth’s atmosphere create aerosols which, in turn, seed clouds and thereby help in the formation of clouds.
text: Almost 90% of the cosmic rays which strike the Earth's atmosphere are protons (hydrogen nuclei) and about 9% are alpha particles.

text: The idea goes like this: Cosmic rays, originating from outside the Solar System, hit the Earth’s atmosphere.
