==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
'''Cosmic rays''' are very fast moving [[Subatomic Particle|subatomic particles]] which travel through space.
===About Cosmic Rays===
: There is a constant stream of '''cosmic rays''' coming from distant [[star]]s and [[supernova]] explosions.
: Most '''cosmic rays''' are stopped by our [[Earth's Atmosphere|atmosphere]] or deflected by the [[Earth]]'s [[Magnetic Field|magnetic field]].
: Pilots of aeroplanes are exposed to a greater amount of '''cosmic rays''' because at high altitude there is less [[Earth's Atmosphere|atmosphere]] to protect them.
