   The solar wind continuously flows outward from the Sun and consists mainly of protons and electrons in a state known as a plasma. Solar magnetic field is embedded in the plasma and flows outward with the solar wind. Different regions on the Sun produce solar wind of different speeds and densities.

   Nov 1, 2019 · It has been steadily taking data for 25 years, and has enough fuel at its current orbit to last until 2074. Wind’s scientific results are prodigious — here are some of the coolest results from the last 25 years: 1. Solar Radio. Early in its mission, Wind tuned in to the radio frequencies of the Sun.

   Sep 1, 2016 · Ever since the 1950s discovery of the solar wind – the constant flow of charged particles from the sun – there’s been a stark disconnect between this outpouring and the sun itself. As it approaches Earth, the solar wind is gusty and turbulent.

   Space Technology 5. Solar Wind. TRACE UV image of the Sun's corona. The solar wind is created by the outward expansion of plasma (a collection of charged particles) from the Sun's corona (outermost atmosphere). This plasma is continually heated to the point that the Sun's gravity can't hold it down.

   Feb 20, 2019 · english. 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.

   Solar wind, flux of particles, chiefly protons and electrons together with nuclei of heavier elements in smaller numbers, that are accelerated by the high temperatures of the solar corona, or outer region of the Sun, to velocities large enough to allow them to escape from the Sun’s gravitational.

   Nov 24, 2019 · 3 min read. Effects of the Solar Wind. NASA Science Editorial Team. Nov 24, 2019. Article. The wind speed of a devastating Category 5 hurricane can top over 150 miles per hour (241km/hour.) Now imagine another kind of wind with an average speed of 0.87 million miles per hour (1.4 million km/hour.)
