What factors influence the radiation dose received during air travel?
The radiation dose received during a flight is primarily influenced by flight altitude, duration, Earth's magnetic field, and the solar cycle.
Altitude and Duration: Higher flight altitudes and longer flight durations result in higher radiation doses.
Earth's Magnetic Field: Due to the influence of Earth's magnetic field, flight routes passing through high-latitude regions experience higher radiation exposure (polar routes have higher doses).
Solar Cycle: Variations in the Sun’s magnetic field cause slight differences in radiation dose rates even for the same flight route at different times.
