The deeper one delves into the mysteries of nature, the higher is raised the level of gratitude and sense of awareness of what God has done for man. No game of chance could create and support life on earth and help it reach the dizzy heights occupied by man. Billions of measures are taken to maintain balance among various forces to make this world a befitting abode for the sustenance of life. The Magnetosphere The magnetosphere is a region in the atmosphere where magnetic phenomena and the high atmospheric conductivity caused by ionisation are essential in determining the behaviour of charged particles. Its function is to absorb infinite cosmic energy and to stop most of it from reaching the earth. There are two basic types of cosmic rays, primary and secondary. Primary cosmic rays consist chiefly of protons (hydrogen nuclei) and alpha particles (helium nuclei). The majority of primaries have energies of nearly one billion electron volts. Although some primaries originate from the sun, the majority come from sources far from the earth (possibly violently exploding stars called super-novas) and at the highest energies from outside the Milky Way. Some primary cosmic rays enter the earth’s atmosphere where they collide with oxygen and nitrogen nuclei, giving rise to
