A reduction of 20 dB corresponds to increasing the distance from the source

by a factor of 10.

Where are the intensity of cosmic rays the greatest?

On Earth, the intensity of cosmic rays increases with altitude until a maximum where the atmosphere ends; this reflects the atmosphere's shielding effect. Outside Earth cosmic rays intensity is greatest at their source or origin, which seems to be mostly outside the solar system. Although some uncertainty remains, they are believed to be created by supernovae explosions, and possibly by the relativistic jets of quasars or active galactic nuclei.


What is the outside length?
