solar winds
Sun's charged breath
Solar wind is a continuous stream of charged particles—mostly protons and electrons—that flows outward from the sun's corona into space.
This plasma travels at speeds of several hundred kilometers per second and extends well beyond the outer planets, creating a vast bubble called the heliosphere.
Solar wind interacts with Earth's magnetic field to produce phenomena like the aurora borealis.
Intense bursts of solar wind during solar storms can disrupt satellites, communications systems, and power grids on Earth.
