Bookmark or Share- Solar Wind, Geomagnetic Storms, and Coronal Mass EjectionsThe solar wind is a continuous stream of particles--mainly protons and electrons in a state known as a plasma--flowing outward from the Sun. High speed solar winds bring geomagnetic storms while slow speed winds bring calm space weather.
- Solar wind: What is it and how does it affect Earth? | SpaceSolar wind is composed of charged particles and the sun's magnetic field and is continually released from our star. Explore the phenomenon in more detail here.
- Real Time Solar Wind - NOAA / NWS Space Weather Prediction CenterReal-Time Solar Wind (RTSW) data refers to data from any spacecraft located upwind of Earth, typically orbiting the L1 Lagrange point, that is being tracked by the Real-Time Solar Wind Network of tracking stations.
- Effects of the Solar Wind - NASA ScienceWelcome to the wind that begins in our Sun and doesn’t stop until after it reaches the edge of the heliosphere: the solar wind. The corona is the Sun’s inner atmosphere – the brightness that can be seen surrounding an eclipsed Sun - and home to the continually expanding solar wind.
- Solar Wind - NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL)Solar Wind. TRACE UV image of the Sun's corona. 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.
