Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Solar wind is ____
A
the wind coming from the sun that permeates movement of trees
B
the continuous flow of atoms around the Earth
C
the continuous flow of charged particles from the sun that permeates the solar system
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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. It then travels along the Sun’s magnetic field lines that extend radially outward.

Detailed explanation-2: -solar wind The continuous flow of charged particles from the Sun that permeates the Solar System. It mostly consists of electrons and protons with energies usually between 10 and 100 keV. The stream of particles varies in temperature and speed over time.

Detailed explanation-3: -The solar wind continuously flows outward from the Sun and consists mainly of protons and electrons in a state known as a plasma.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Sun releases a constant stream of particles and magnetic elds 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 eld, or both.

Detailed explanation-5: -Solar wind definition The solar wind is a plasma, a stream of charged particles (ions and electrons) which are continuously escaping from the Sun into the interplanetary medium.
