How is aurora related to solar wind?
The solar wind produces a number of charged particles. These charged particles crash into the atmosphere at the magnetic north pole. When a particle from the solar wind hits an atom in the atmosphere, it knocks an electron from its outer shell. When the electron bounces back to where it belongs, it gives off light. That light is the Aurora.
A stream of electrically charged particles from the sun is called?
It is solar wind
When the Sun was young the solar wind?
When the Sun was young, the solar wind was stronger and more intense compared to what it is today. This was due to the Sun's higher rotation rate and more frequent solar flares and sunspot activity. As the Sun aged, the solar wind gradually weakened to its current levels.
What is the dramatic eruption on the sun that produces x-rays and hurls charged particles into space at nearly the speed of light?
Solar flares - which produce the solar 'wind'
The corona sends out a stream of electrically charged particles called the?
solar wind
Is the speed of wind faster than the speed of light?
No. Nothing is faster than the speed of light. Even the fastest wind doesn't come close.
What is faster than the wind and quieter than a feather?
Light
What causes the curtains of light?
solar wind solar wind
How is it possible that sailboats can go faster than the wind?
By controlling its flow across the sails: If the boat is light enough, it WILL move faster across the water than the wind does.
Why sound travels faster than light?
Sound does not travel faster than light. The speed of light is 299,792,458 meters per second The speed of sound is 343.14 meters per second or, light travels at 186,000 miles per second sound at 751 MPH
Would light travel faster through space or wind?
It would travel faster through space since there are no particles to get in its way. The wind is an opposing force so it is harder to move faster. The difference between the two would be negligble but specifically, light moves faster through space.
What kinds of particles does the sun eject into the solar wind?
The Solar Wind. (and photons if you mean the light that the Sun emits).
Do wind turbines spin faster or slower in light winds?
They spin faster than old ones because some old ones are so old that they can't even move. That is my answer.(:

Why might the solar wind have a stronger effect on inner planets than on outer planets in the solar system?
The solar wind has a stronger effect on inner planets because they are closer to the Sun and therefore experience higher solar wind densities and stronger solar wind speeds. Outer planets are farther away from the Sun and have weaker solar wind interactions due to the decreased solar wind density and speed at their distance from the Sun.
Possible energy sources to replace nuclear energy?
Solar (Light), Wind and Hydro (Water)
Can ocean waves move faster than wind?
No, ocean waves cannot move faster than the wind that generates them. Waves are a result of the energy transferred from the wind to the water's surface, so they generally travel at a speed proportional to the wind speed.
