A tenuous, radial flow of gas and energetic charged particles, mostly protons and electrons, from the Sun's corona. The expanding solar wind also drags the solar magnetic field outward, forming the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF). The region of space in which this solar magnetic field is dominan...

Solar wind is a stream of atomic particles, mostly protons and electrons, from the Sun's corona, flowing outwards at speeds of between 300 kps and 1,000 kps. The fastest streams come from 'holes' in the Sun's corona that lie over areas where no surface activity occurs. The

The wind from the Sun. More specifically, particles, usually electrons and protons, continually streaming away from the corona of the Sun. The solar wind is extremely sparse, containing only a few fast moving particles per cubic centimeter at the Earth. The exact geometry and extent of the solar wind is not well known.
