The sun (and its system, including us) is moving in an orbit around the center of the Milky Way, and it is moving at the brisk rate of 486,000 miles per hour. It takes an unfathomable 226 million years for the sun (and its solar system) to make the full circuit around. The last time we were at this position was 226 million years ago, and dinosaurs ruled. The earth travels at 67,000 miles per hour in its orbit around the sun; a snail's pace compared to our galactic romp. See link.
What else can I help you with?
A stream of electrically charged particles from the sun is called?
It is solar wind
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'
Is solar wind faster than light?
No, solar wind is not faster than light. Solar wind is the flow of charged particles from the Sun that travels at speeds ranging from 300 to 800 km/s, while the speed of light in a vacuum is approximately 299,792 km/s.
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.
Where does the solar wind blow from?
From the sun. It's not really a wind but a stream of charged particles emitted from the sun's upper atmosphere.
What is the source of solar wind?
Solar flares from the sun produce bursts of solar wind, but solar wind is constantly streaming out from the sun.
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.
A stream of electrically charged particles from the sun is called?
It is solar wind
What is a stream of electrically charged particles from the sun called?
The general dissipation of charged particles from the sun is called the Solar Wind. Occasionally the sun also emits vast quantities of matter from bursts known as "Coronal Mass Ejections". (The Corona is the Sun's atmosphere.)
Why comet 's tail is facing away from the sun?
It is pushed away from the sun by the solar wind.
From which layer of the Sun does the solar wind originate?
The solar wind originates from the outermost layer of the Sun called the corona, which is the Sun's tenuous outer atmosphere. The corona is made up of highly ionized gas that is so hot it can escape the Sun's gravitational pull and flow outwards into space, creating the solar wind.
Does Solar wind occurs as gusts of wind on the sun similar to strong wind gusts on the earth?
Solar wind is a continuous stream of charged particles, mainly protons and electrons, that flow from the Sun's outer atmosphere into space. It does not occur as gusts like wind on Earth, but rather as a steady flow with occasional fluctuations in speed and density. These fluctuations can be caused by solar activity like solar flares or coronal mass ejections.
What part of the sun generates the solar wind?
The corona of the sun generates the solar wind. It is the outermost layer of the sun's atmosphere, where temperatures are extremely high, causing particles to escape and form the solar wind that travels through the solar system.
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'
Is there solar wind on the sun?
yes, there is
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).
How is solar wind related to the sun?
The wind comes from heat waves which radiate from the sun
