The type of radiation you are explaining is called Alpha radiation and an alpha particle is actually just a helium nucleus i.e. 2 protons and 2 neutrons without the electrons.

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 solar flares and solar winds?

A continuous plasma stream expanding into interplanetary space from the sun's corona. The wind from the Sun.
