Is the moon past the van Allen belts?

Yes, the Moon is located beyond the Van Allen radiation belts, which are two layers of charged particles trapped by Earth's magnetic field. These belts extend from about 1,000 to 60,000 kilometers above Earth's surface, while the Moon orbits at an average distance of about 384,400 kilometers. Thus, any missions to the Moon must pass through these belts but the Moon itself is outside their influence.
