Abstract
Cosmic rays are high-energy subatomic particles arriving at Earth from space. Most of them, about 85%, are protons or hydrogen nuclei, 12% are helium nuclei or alpha particles, and 1% belongs to heavier nuclei, all the way up to uranium. The rest (2%) are electrons. Air travelers are exposed to Cosmic rays depending on the altitude.
