Abstract

Cosmic rays, originating from outer space, have a significant impact on Earth's atmosphere. This paper investigates the interactions between cosmic rays and atmospheric particles, focusing on the implications for climate and atmospheric chemistry. Through detailed analysis, we explore the role of cosmic rays in cloud formation and other atmospheric phenomena.
