Is the solar wind predominantly positively or negatively charged?

Neither, because the sun is made up of incredibly dense hydrogen, the smallest element known to exist, and hydrogen consist of two sub atomic particles, a negatively charged electron, and a positively charged proton, when hydrogen decays and creates the solar winds, negative and positive charges are created in equal amounts, the solar winds are 50% positive, and 50% negative with almost 0% neutrality unless you take radiation into effect. Hope this helps.

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.)
What are flares of electrically charged particles coming off of sunspots?
the answer is in the question its solar flares
Where do you find protons?
Protons are positively charged particles, made up of 2 up quarks and 1 down quark. They are found in the nucleus of an atom held together, along with neutrons by the force particles of the weak nuclear force. Protons are to be found in plasmas, in the solar wind and when it is operating, in the experiments at CERN.
How does radius of an atom affect melting point?
The Bohr model, introduced in 1913 by Niels Bohr was simply the model of the atomic structure; this included the small positively charged nucleus which included the neutrons and protons at the centre and the negatively charged electrons rotating around the nucleus in certain specific orbits by its electromagnetic energy in a circular orbit, similar to the solar system, but with electrostatic forces providing attraction, rather then gravity. In a neutral atom the number of electrons = the number of protons. The arrangement of an atom's energy orbits depends on the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus and the number of electrons orbiting the nucleus.

What type of fuel can be only used in certain geographic areas?
Solar
What changes were made to Thomson’s “raisin bun model”?
In 1904, the Japanese physicist Hantaro Nagaoka changed Tomson's model with the following: Nagaoka atom resembled a miniature solar system whereas Tomson's was a positively charged sphere in which negatively charged electrons were embedded. Nagaoka's model had the atom in the middle, and the negatively charged electrons circling it like the planets orbit the sun, and Tomson's had the negatively charged electrons embedded into the atom.
What happens to the atoms of a substance that is negatively charged?
Because the sun is the center of the solar system.
How is the aurora borealis connected to the solar flares?
When a solar flare is ejected from the sun it releases billions of positively charged particles (ionized) particles. When these particles hit the earths magnetic feild it produces the aurora borealis.
Is solar corona the fifth state of matter?
yes solar corona is the fifth state of matter. some say that filaments are the fifth but it is also true. filaments are just in solar coronas and is positively charged. i know its a plain answer but it wraps up to pretty much that.
What batteries can be charged with solar panels?
With the appropriate charging unit, any recharegeable battereis can be charged by solar energy.
What do solar flares discharge?
Solar flares discharge radiation and charged particles.
What is a solar wind?
solar wind is the continuous flow of charged particles from the sun that permeates the solar system.
A stream of electrically charged particles from the sun is called?
It is solar wind
Who purposed the Bohr atom?
Neils Bohr proposed Bohr model of the atom,which states that atom is a small,positively charged nucleus and is surrounded by electrons which travel in circular motions because of electrostatic forceand is similar to the solar system..
Do charged particles from solar wind come closest to Earth at the equator?
No. Charged particles come closest to Earth at the poles. This is because the Earth's magnetosphere has magnetic field lines that are generated from and reenter the poles. As such, the area near the equator is most protected by the magnetosphere, as it extends outward from the poles, surrounding the Earth. And the magnetosphere is weakest at the points of intersection at the poles. When charged particles are deflected by the magnetosphere, they follow these magnetic field lines, and reenter our atmosphere at the poles. High-energy radiation generated by these charged particles interacting with gases in the atmosphere is the reason for the auroras (Northern and Southern lights). This is why, subsequent to a solar flare that sends a strong wind of particles toward the Earth, you are likely to see more intense auroras. Because of the nature of fusion (which makes the sun what it is, as an active star), the most common particles composing the solar wind are: neutrinos (neutral particles, very small masses), electrons (negatively charged, often easily deflected by the magnetosphere), and protons (positively charged, the largest danger to us from the solar wind, because they counter the charge of the magnetosphere and reenter our atmosphere most easily).
How is a model of an atom similar to a model of the solar system?
The Japanese scientist H. Nagaoka modelled the atom as a large positive sphere surrounded by a ring of negative electrons. The atom is compared with the planet Saturn, where the planet represents the positively charged part of the atom, and the rings represent the negatively charged electrons. This model was made in 1904. Information from Science9 by Nelson.
