Solar Wind
The outward flux of solar particles and magnetic fields from the sun. Typically, solar wind velocities are near 350 km/s.
SOLN ...
Solar wind A stream of charged subatomic particles (mainly protons and electrons) flowing into space from the sun.
Solar Wind A continuous plasma stream expanding into interplanetary space from the sun's corona. The solar wind is present continuously in interplanetary space.
MagnetogramIn solar-terrestrial terms, solar magnetograms are a graphic representation of solar magnetic field strengths and polarityMagnetopauseIn solar-terrestrial terms, the boundary layer between the solar wind and the magnetosphere.
Solar Halo: A ring around the Sun produced by cirrostratus clouds which consist of ice crystals Solar Wind: Is produced by charged ion particles escaping from the Sun. Solar Wind: The solar wind moves on average about 400 kilometers per sec/ 250 mps.
High-Speed StreamIn solar-terrestrial terms, a feature of the solar wind having velocities that are about double average solar wind values.Hinge CrackIn hydrologic terms, a crack caused by significant changes in water level.
The power source for aurorae is Solar Wind. The Earth's magnetic field looks a lot like the magnetic field of a bar magnet with field lines going into and out of the Earth's magnetic poles, where the magnetic field is strongest.
In solar-terrestrial terms, the magnetic cavity surrounding the earth, carved out of the passing solar wind by virtue of the geomagnetic field, which prevents, or at least impedes, the direct entry of the solar wind plasma into the cavity ...
Other mechanisms that can cause atmosphere depletion are solar wind-induced sputtering, impact erosion, weathering, and sequestrationâ€"sometimes referred to as "freezing out"â€"into the regolith and polar caps.
They are characterized by a magnetic field that is open to interplanetary space and are associated with high-speed solar wind streams. These regions appear dark in spectroheliograms when observed in emission lines from the corona.
Ionosphere A layer in the atmosphere above 80 km (50 mi), where gamma, X-ray, and some ultraviolet radiation is absorbed and converted into infrared, and where the solar winds stimulates the auroras.
Eleven-year cycle of sunspots and solar flares that affects other solar indexes such as the solar output of ultraviolet radiation and the solar wind. The Earth's magnetic field, temperature, and ozone levels are affected by this cycle.
Interplanetary Magnetic Field(abbrev. IMF) In solar-terrestrial terms, the magnetic field carried with the solar wind.InterpolateTo estimate a value within an interval between two known values.
