I've heard of the muons and electrons that constantly hit Earth's surface in cosmic rays coming from extra terrestrial particles that break up in Earth's atmosphere but I was curious what factors played a role in the type of radiation produced from these particles in the atmosphere (i.e. More humid conditions increase the number of muons produced or something of this sort). I know very little about radiation and particle physics so the more info the better. Thanks!
