Question

Did you know? The solar wind is a continuous stream of charged particles (mainly protons and electrons) shot from the Sun at 400-800 km/s. It forms the heliosphere — a gigantic bubble around our solar system — and always pushes comet tails AWAY from the Sun, not along their direction of motion.

Accepted Answer

The solar wind is a continuous stream of charged particles (mainly protons and electrons) shot from the Sun at 400-800 km/s. It forms the heliosphere — a gigantic bubble around our solar system — and always pushes comet tails AWAY from the Sun, not along their direction of motion.

De zonnewind is een continue stroom geladen deeltjes (vooral protonen en elektronen) die met 400-800 km/s van de zon afgeschoten worden. Hij vormt de heliosfeer — een gigantische bel om ons zonnestelsel — en duwt komeetstaarten áltijd weg van de zon, niet langs hun bewegingsrichting.
