How are Van Allen belts formed?
High-energy particles from the Sun get trapped in Earth’s magnetic field.
Metals in Earth’s core sink and rise, producing a circular movement of the metals.
Particles in solar wind travel along lines of Earth’s magnetic field and collide with gas atoms.
Material from the surface of the Sun erupts and forms a loop due to the Sun’s magnetic field.

Answer:
A Van Allen radiation belt is a zone of energetic charged particles, most of which originate from the solar wind, that are captured by and held around a planet by that planet's magnetic field. Most of the particles that form the belts are thought to come from solar wind and other particles by cosmic rays.
