A new study has found that electromagnetic waves generated by lightning can trigger these electron showers.
Scientists believe that the inner radiation belt, peaking about 621 miles ( 1000 kilometers ) from Earth , is composed of electrons and high-energy protons.
The inner belt, about three times farther away, is made up of high energy electrons and ions.
The outer belt is about 3 times more energetic than the inner belt.
Geomagnetic storms are disturbances in near- Earth space environment often caused by large eruptions on the Sun ’s surface.
This solar activity, if directed toward Earth , can produce what researchers term space weather.
Space weather can result in stunning auroras, but it can also disrupt satellite and power grid operations.
