The stream of charged particles given off from the Sun is called the solar wind. The solar wind consists of high-energy particles, primarily protons and electrons, that are continuously emitted by the Sun in all directions. It is a constant flow of charged particles that extends throughout the solar system.
The solar wind is driven by the Sun's outer atmosphere, known as the corona, which has extremely high temperatures and strong magnetic fields. Due to the high temperatures, particles in the corona have enough energy to escape the Sun's gravitational pull and become part of the solar wind.
The solar wind carries an electric charge and interacts with the magnetic fields of planets, including Earth's magnetosphere. When the solar wind reaches Earth, it can have various effects, such as causing auroras (northern and southern lights), influencing space weather, and affecting the behavior of spacecraft and satellites.
The solar wind plays a significant role in the dynamics and interaction of celestial bodies within the solar system and is of great interest in the study of space weather and astrophysics.
