How are cosmic rays created?

Answer 1

Cosmic rays are mainly created by supernova explosions.

Particles that originate from beyond our solar system are called cosmic rays, and they are mostly made up of protons, with traces of alpha particles, heavier atomic nuclei, and electrons.

The majority of cosmic rays are known to come from supernova explosions, although there is not enough scientific data to establish the exact origins of these particles.

Cosmic rays are high-energy particles, mainly protons and atomic nuclei, that originate from various astrophysical sources such as supernovae explosions, active galactic nuclei, and gamma-ray bursts. They can also be produced within our solar system by processes like solar flares and collisions between objects in space.
