[One of the] two concentric, toroid (or donut-shaped) regions of stably trapped charged particles [mostly electrons] that exist because the geomagnetic field near the Earth is strong and field lines are closed. 1, record 1, English, - outer%20Van%20Allen%20radiation%20belt

The Outer Belt has a maximum proton density near 16,000 to 20,000 km, and contains low to medium energy electrons and protons whose source is the influx of particles from the magnetotail during geomagnetic storms. 1, record 1, English, - outer%20Van%20Allen%20radiation%20belt

[Une des deux] zones annulaires qui entourent la Terre et qui ont à peu près le même axe qu'elle, dans lesquelles l'intensité du rayonnement cosmique ionisant est particulièrement élevé. 4, record 1, French, - ceinture%20de%20Van%20Allen%20ext%C3%A9rieure
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
La Terre est entourée de deux zones dans lesquelles le rayonnement est particulièrement intense : la «ceinture intérieure», ou «ceinture de Van Allen», et la «ceinture extérieure». Ces zones sont dues à une sorte de capture des radiations cosmiques par le champ magnétique terrestre [...] 5, record 1, French, - ceinture%20de%20Van%20Allen%20ext%C3%A9rieure
