What causes solar storms?
Solar winds are caused by charged particles that are ejected into the upper atmosphere of the sun. The sun continues to make these streams of charged particles and sending them into space.
Streams charged particles coming from the sin make the solar?
They make up part of the solar wind
Are alpha rays charged?
Yes. Alpha rays are streams of alpha particles (helium nuclei), each of which carries 2 times the charge of a proton. In S.I. units the alpha particle's charge is +3.2 x 10-19 Coulombs, to two significant figures.
How is the tail of a comet created?
The Comet's Tail forms when sunlight causes the Comet's ice to change to a gas. The gas or ion , tail of a comet streams from the comet's head, carrying with it dust particles. The solar wind electrically charged particles, expand away from the sun pushes the gas away from the comet's head. Regardless of where its going the tail points away from the sun.
What does the sun produce out of sun spots?
Huge streams of hot, magnetically charged gases. The sun spots are cooler parts of the surface.
What are streams of electrically charged particles sent out by the corona?
They are protons.
What are streams of charged particles ejected from the sun?
Solar wind
What was J J Thompson's hypothesis when he observed that rays bend toward a positively charged plate and give a negative charge to objects they strike?
He hypothesized that cathode rays are streams of electrons or negative charges

Streams charged particles coming from the sin make the solar?
They make up part of the solar wind
What are loops of matter flowing from the Sun called?
The streams of charged particles flowing out into Space from the Sun are collectively the Solar Wind.
How do rock particles get into streams and rivers?
By wind or water, or both.
How did Thomson know that atoms must contain particles with positive charges?
He knew that in a vacuum tube metals can be made to emit streams of negative charge which were then called cathode rays. If atoms are neutral and can produce negative charge, there must be positive charge there too.
Why is adding heat to lakes and streams consider pollution?
It has a negative impact of fauna and wildlife in those lakes and streams.
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
What are the benefits you can get from static electricity?
One of the most common uses for static electricity is in electrostatic precipitators which are used to remove fine ash particles from the exhaust streams of coal fired power stations. Large metal plates placed in the exhaust gas stream are charged by a high voltage source. The charged plates attract the ash particles which stick to the surface of the plates. Periodically the charge is turned off and the plates are rapped by hammers causing the mass of dust particles to fall and collect in an ash hopper below
Are alpha rays charged?
Yes. Alpha rays are streams of alpha particles (helium nuclei), each of which carries 2 times the charge of a proton. In S.I. units the alpha particle's charge is +3.2 x 10-19 Coulombs, to two significant figures.
