The most rude and devastating speed of wind in Earth is category 5 Hurricane which speeds over 150 miles per hours (241 km per hour), But imagine another kind of wind with the average speed of 0.87 million miles per hour (1.4 million km per hour) which originate from sun and does't stop until it reaches our heliosphere, which is nothing but solar wind.
Totally sun is divided into 7 inner and outer layer, The inner layers are the core, radiative zone, and convection zone, while outer layers are the photosphere, the chromosphere, the transition region, and the corona.
Corona is the sun's inner atmosphere, the bright layer which we see right now is its corona, which is the home for the continuously expanding solar wind.
The Parker solar probe, which was launched by NASA in 2018 is orbiting the sun and and will get as close as 3.83 million miles (6.16 million km) of the Sun’s surface. This Parker probe is gathering the information about the solar particles and magnetic fields the comprises of solar wind.
The main objectives of this probe is to examine the energy that heats up the probe and to determine the magnetic structure of solar wind.
we all know about the beautiful auroras happening near the north and south pole, The solar wind impacting Earth’s magnetosphere is responsible for triggering those majestic auroras. In some cases it can also set off space weather storms that disrupt everything from our satellites in space, to ship communications on our oceans, to power grids on land.
As the solar wind flows toward the Earth magnetosphere, it carries sun's ,magnetic field along with it. it direclt smash with earth magnetic field and this blow causes the shock in Earth magnetic protection which result in air turbulence at heliosphere.
The another important reason to study about its solar wind is, it influences the space weather system which affect the astronauts and equipment in outer space. In order to protect the astronauts and equipment from such hazardous radiation they use aluminium, aluminium is good shield to protect our crafts from many energetic particles. But there are also faster particles that travel at 80% of the speed of light, which can cause havoc with parts of a spacecraft. They can smash into and damage solar panels, disrupt electronics, or affect electric currents that flow along power grids. So, we’re currently conducting tests with small pieces of technology to study how well they can survive in intense radiation areas.”
Research about Solar wind is very important as we send astronauts and spacecraft to outer space and NASA is really concern about the safety of astronauts in this.
