English: Earth’s atmosphere protects us from gamma rays
Luckily for life on Earth, our atmosphere blocks most cosmic gamma rays from reaching the surface. Most of them will interact with molecules high up in the atmosphere, causing a cascade of particles that travel through the atmosphere until they run out of energy.
