How much energy does an cosmic ray have?

Answer:

Most Cosmic rays have energies between 107 and 1010 electron volts but one has been detected with an energy 3X 1020 ev. This is about the same energy as decent tennis serve (about 50J) and about 50 000 000 X greater than what the large hadron collider in Europe will be able to achieve when they finally get it going.
