Solar wind



The solar wind is a stream of plasma released from the upper atmosphere of the Sun. It consists of mostly electrons and protons with energies usually between 1.5 and 10 keV. The stream of particles varies in density, temperature, and speed over time and over solar longitude. These particles can escape the Sun's gravity because of their high energy, from the high temperature of the corona and magnetic, electrical and electromagnetic phenomena in it.

The solar wind flows outward supersonically to great distances, filling a region known as the heliosphere, an enormous bubble-like volume surrounded by the interstellar medium. Other related phenomena include the aurora (northern and southern lights), the plasma tails of comets that always point away from the Sun, and geomagnetic storms that can change the direction of magnetic field lines and create strong currents in power grids on Earth.

All stars emit solar winds of various strength. Several cultures exist that use Solar winds as a means of propulsion for inter planetary travel.(And galactic winds for interstellar travel)

It should be noted that Terra utilized Solar Winds as main sorce for Energy from 2800 - 5030 OTT and only switched to Hypertap in 5031 ( Ikarus Solar Sail power plant satellites of the Solar System)
