-- There is no such thing as a "flow of power".
-- The flow of electric charge is "electric current".

∙ 12y agoCurrent is a flow of electrical charges, so it is not quite accurate to say a 'flow of current', even though the expression is very widely used. In metal conductors, these charges are electrons, whereas in electrolytes (liquid conductors) these charges are ions (charged atoms).
Current is measured in amperes (symbol: A), which is defined in terms of the magnetic effect of an electric current -i.e. the force between two, parallel, current-carrying conductors.

How do electrons of an atom compare to planet and the sun?
Inside atoms, there are protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons are positively charged, neutrons are neutrally charged, and electrons are negatively charged. In most atoms, the number of protons and neutrons are equal, meaning the atom is neutrally charged. However, protons and neutrons are about the same size, while electrons are MUCH smaller. For reasons we don't fully understand, the protons and neutrons stick together in a clump at the center of an atom while the electrons circle around. We call that clump the nucleus. Now, this is very similar to a solar system. The sun is very large, with many smaller planets circling around. The difference is, planets circle around the sun because of gravity, and electrons circle around the nucleus because God likes to screw with us.
Streams of electrons and protons that shoot out from the sun and corona are the solar?
wind
What do you call the area that contains protons and electrons given off by the sun?
Ionosphere
Where are protons and neutrins located?
Protons and Neutrons compose the nucleus of the atom. They are surrounded by a cloud of electrons. If our universe was an atom, the sun would be the nucleus (with protons and neutrons) and the orbiting planets would be the electrons.
What do the neutrons do outside of the protons and electrons?
They fly around like the orbit of the planets around the sun :)
Streams of protons and electrons emitted from the Sun produce?
The stream of protons and electrons being emitted from the sun is called the solar wind.
What are solar winds made of?
The sun radiates huge amounts of light, and it also sends out a continuous stream of charged particles. These charged particles, which are ejected from the upper solar atmosphere, are primarily electrons and protons. And they are the primary constituents of what is called the solar wind, which is the name we give to this plasma that streams out from the sun on a continuous basis. A link can be found below to the Wikipedia post on the solar wind. More information can be found there. a constant stream of particles that are blown from all directions to the sun

Why the electron is most likely to be lost or gained by atom?
An atom is made up of 3 items: electrons which are negatively charged, protons which are positively charged, and neutrons which carry no charge. The protons and neutrons are closely grouped together in the nucleus of the atom. The electrons are in orbit around the nucleus in a similar manner as the planets orbit the sun. In this configuration it is much easier to lose or gain electrons than protons or neutrons.
What is a stream of charged particles moving outward from the sun?
Solar rat
What is the electrically charged matter emitted by the suns corona?
The Sun consists of plasma, which is similar to a gas, but also means it has a lot of ions - in this case, many atoms have lost one or more of their electrons. Therefore, the Sun has a lot of positive ions, as well as free electrons, meaning, electrons that are not bound to an atom.
Streams of electrons and protons that shoot out from the sun and corona are the solar?
wind
The stream of charged particles that escapes through holes in the sun's corona called?
It is called the corona of the sun.
What stream of charged particles that escape through holes in the sun's corona is called?
It is called the corona of the sun.
What is the stream of electrically charged particles flowing from the sun called?
Solar wind.
What do you call the area that contains protons and electrons given off by the sun?
Ionosphere
What happens inside the sun to the electron in hydrogen atoms?
Inside the sun, electrons are stripped from the protons by the sun´s intense heat.
