When the sun releases tiny particles due to energy production, it primarily emits a stream of charged particles known as solar wind. This phenomenon occurs during nuclear fusion in the sun's core, where hydrogen is converted into helium, releasing energy and particles. These particles can interact with Earth's magnetic field, leading to phenomena such as auroras and, in extreme cases, geomagnetic storms that can disrupt satellite communications and power grids. Solar flares and coronal mass ejections are more intense bursts of this particle release, illustrating the sun's dynamic nature.

stellar wind
The constant outward release of tiny particles caused by a star's energy production is known as stellar wind. This phenomenon occurs when high-energy particles, primarily electrons and protons, are expelled from the star's outer layers due to the intense heat and pressure generated by nuclear fusion in its core. Stellar winds contribute to the surrounding space environment and can influence the formation of planetary systems and the evolution of interstellar material.
Stars are balls of gasses in plasma form. The high pressure and temperature in the core of the stars ignites a nuclear fusion reaction, that is the source of the light and energy emitted by them.

When the Sun releases tiny particles due to energy production, it is called solar wind. These particles consist of protons and electrons that are released into space from the Sun's outer atmosphere, known as the corona. The solar wind can affect Earth's magnetic field and create phenomena like auroras.

The energy form that is released when tiny particles are released by atoms is heat energy. When atoms release tiny particles such as alpha or beta particles, they generate heat as a byproduct of the process.
photons
The flow of tiny particles that carry electrical energy is called an electric current. These particles are typically electrons moving through a conductor, such as a wire.
Thermal energy comes from the motion of tiny particles in matter. As these particles vibrate and move, they generate heat energy which can be transferred from one object to another through processes like conduction or convection.
An erg is a unit of energy equal to 10-7 joules.
