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: -Inside a boundary called the magnetopause, the earth’s magnetic field is dominant over the effects of the solar wind. The small fraction of the charged particles which do leak through the magnetopause are trapped in two large doughnut-shaped rings called the Van Allen radiation belts.
