SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) are large expulsions of plasma and magnetic field from the Sun’s corona.

Detailed explanation-2: -Solar Wind: The solar wind is a stream of charged particles ejected from the upper atmosphere of the Sun. It mostly consists of electrons and protons, and varies in temperature and speed over time.

Detailed explanation-3: -The sun sends out a constant flow of charged particles called the solar wind, which ultimately travels past all the planets to some three times the distance to Pluto before being impeded by the interstellar medium. This forms a giant bubble around the sun and its planets, known as the heliosphere.

Detailed explanation-4: -Coronal mass ejections, also called CMEs, are large clouds of plasma and magnetic field that erupt from the sun. These clouds can erupt in any direction, and then continue on in that direction, plowing right through the solar wind.

Detailed explanation-5: -The closest boundary of the heliosphere is thought to extend about 100 AU out from the Sun, that is 100 times the distance of the Earth from the Sun and at least twice as far out as the Kuiper belt, which contains the most distant objects in the solar system.
