20 lut 2019 · The Sun releases a constant stream of particles and magnetic fields called the solar wind. This solar wind slams worlds across the solar system with particles and radiation – which can stream all the way to planetary surfaces unless thwarted by an atmosphere, magnetic field, or both.

The solar wind is a stream of charged particles released from the Sun's outermost atmospheric layer, the corona. This plasma mostly consists of electrons, protons and alpha particles with kinetic energy between 0.5 and 10 keV.
6 lip 2022 · On Earth, the solar wind is responsible for dazzling aurora light shows around the polar regions. In the Northern Hemisphere the phenomenon is called the northern lights (aurora borealis),...

Solar wind is a constant stream of particles and energy emanating from the Sun, profoundly influencing planetary atmospheres. Its characteristics and composition are fundamental to understanding its interaction with the solar system.
24 lis 2019 · Parker is gathering new data about the solar particles and magnetic fields that comprise the solar wind. More specifically, two of its main goals are to examine the energy that heats the corona and speeds up the solar wind, and determine the structure of the wind’s magnetic fields.
The normally steady solar wind can be interrupted by heavier showers caused by large, fast-moving bursts of energetic particles from the Sun called coronal mass ejections (CMEs), or solar storms. Solar storms change the environmental conditions in space and produce what is known as space weather .
