'''Solar wind''' is particles, usually [[electron]]s and [[proton]]s, continually streaming away from the corona of 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.
