Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The particles of the corona extends into space for millions of kilometers and spreads into streams of electrically charged particles called:
A
coronal discharge
B
solar flares
C
coronal ejection
D
solar winds
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Solar wind While it is much less dense than wind on Earth, it is much faster, typically blowing at speeds of one to two million miles per hour. The solar wind is made of charged particles-electrons and ionized atoms-that interact with each other and the Sun’s magnetic field.

Detailed explanation-2: -Space Environment The solar wind is a stream of energized, charged particles, primarily electrons and protons, flowing outward from the Sun, through the solar system at speeds as high as 900 km/s and at a temperature of 1 million degrees (Celsius).

Detailed explanation-3: -The corona is the outermost part of the Sun’s atmosphere. The corona is usually hidden by the bright light of the Sun’s surface. That makes it difficult to see without using special instruments. However, the corona can be seen during a total solar eclipse.

Detailed explanation-4: -These particles, mostly protons and electrons, are traveling about a million miles per hour as they pass Earth. This flow of particles, called the “solar wind, ‘’ has an enormous impact on our lives.
