Sun spots have an effect on the solar wind, and independent scientists have theorized a linkage to natural global warming
'''Solar wind''' is particles, usually [[electron]]s and [[proton]]s, continually streaming away from the corona of the [[Sun]].
'''Solar wind''' consists of particles, usually [[electron]]s and [[proton]]s, continually streaming away from the corona of the [[Sun]]. The solar wind has a magnetic field effect on [[cosmic rays]] and thus on [[cloud coverage]].<ref>[http://www.sepp.org/publications/NIPCC_final.pdf]
The solar wind creates the Heliosphere, a bubble in the interstellar medium surrounding the [[solar system]]. Solar wind also creates the the [[aurora]] or "Northern Lights", and causes the tails of [[comet|comets]] to always point away from the sun.

The solar wind is extremely sparse, containing only a few fast moving particles per cubic centimeter at the Earth. The exact geometry and extent of the solar wind is not well known.
