Päikeselt lähtuv aineosakeste (plasma) voog, mis koosneb peamiselt prootonitest ja elektronidest
the variable stream of charged particles (electrons, protons, various atomic nuclei)that flows continuously outward from the Sun into interplanetary space
Because the Sun rotates every 27 days, the solar wind becomes a complex spiral of high and low speeds and high and low densities that looks like the skirt of a twirling ballerina.
