It can be absorbed by the atmosphere and ground
It can be reflected away from the magnetic field
It’s particles can hit other particles in our atmosphere triggering less-energetic radiation

It can either be reflected or radiated back into space, it can get absorbed by the atmosphere, or it can reach the ground.

Good luck :)
