Publisher's Note Astrophysicists and other scientists from around the world report recent findings about the stream of charged particles that flows form the upper atmosphere of the sun and creates a bast bubble in the interstellar medium surrounding the solar system, the Heliosphere. Nine full papers explore such topics as the relationship between solar activity and forest fires, solar energy and sustainable development, solar wind and motions of interplanetary dust grains, and solar wind interaction with artificial atmospheres. Another seven short communications look at solar radiation over northern Sudan, an electrostatic solar light-wind sail, the 27-day periodicity in geomagnetic activity and solar wind parameters over Solar Cycle 23, and other matters.

All rights reserved.![]() Handbook on Solar WindEstimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New The solar wind is a stream of charged particles - a plasma - ejected from the upper atmosphere of the sun. It consists mostly of electrons and protons with energies of about 1 keV. These particles are able to escape the sun's gravity, in part because of the high temperature of the corona, but also because of high kinetic energy that particles gain through a process that is not well-understood at this time. The solar wind creates the Heliosphere, a vast bubble in the interstellar medium surrounding the solar system. Other phenomena include geomagnetic storms that can knock out power grids on Earth, the aurorae such as the Northern Lights, and the plasma tails of comets that always point away from the sun. This book presents the latest research in the world on this topic.
