Solar wind.
The stream of charged particles that escape through holes in the sun's corona is called the solar wind. This continuous flow of particles, primarily electrons and protons, travels through the solar system at high speeds, affecting planetary atmospheres and magnetic fields.
A stream of charged particles moving outward from the sun is known as solar wind. These particles consist mainly of electrons and protons that are emitted by the sun's outermost layer, called the corona, at high speeds. Solar wind interacts with Earth's magnetic field and can cause phenomena such as auroras and geomagnetic storms.
Thomson knew that the glow in the cathode ray tube (CRT) was from a stream of charged particles because the particles were deflected by electric and magnetic fields, indicating they were negatively charged. By measuring the deflection of the particles, he was able to calculate the charge-to-mass ratio of the particles, leading to the discovery of the electron.
The principle of operation of an electrostatic precipitator (ESP) is based on the charging of particles in a gas stream by applying a high-voltage electric field. The charged particles are then attracted to oppositely charged plates within the ESP and are collected, removing them from the gas stream. This process helps to control air pollution by removing particulate matter from industrial emissions.
Electrostatic air cleaners have a "corona discharge", which ionizes the particles in the air, making them either negative or positive. After the particles are charged, they pass over a series of charged plates, which attract the oppositely charged ions, removing the particles of dust, dirt, etc. from the air.
SOLAR WIND
Solar wind.
It is called the corona of the sun.
The stream of charged particles that escape through holes in the sun's corona is called the solar wind. This continuous flow of particles, primarily electrons and protons, travels through the solar system at high speeds, affecting planetary atmospheres and magnetic fields.
A stream of particles produced by the corona is known as the solar wind. It consists of charged particles, such as electrons and protons, that are continuously emitted from the Sun's outer atmosphere. These particles can interact with the Earth's magnetic field and cause phenomena like auroras.

A stream of charged particles produced by the sun's corona is called the solar wind. This continuous flow of charged particles, mostly electrons and protons, emanates from the sun and extends throughout the solar system, affecting the planets and interstellar space.
Coronal Mass Ejection. or sun flare.
Solar wind is created by the Sun's outer atmosphere, called the corona, which is made up of highly energized particles. These particles are ejected into space at high speeds, carrying magnetic fields with them. This constant stream of charged particles flowing away from the Sun is what we call solar wind.
A stream of electrically charged particles sent out by the corona is called solar wind. These particles are continually emitted from the Sun and travel through the solar system at high speeds, influencing the space environment and potentially interacting with planetary atmospheres.
The giant bubble of charged gas that surrounds the sun is called the heliosphere. It is created by the solar wind, a stream of charged particles emanating from the sun. The heliosphere extends far beyond the furthest planets in our solar system.
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.)
