What is the difference between a solar flare and solar wind?

Biology

mezya [45]3 years ago

The biggest difference is the cause. The solar wind is a constant flow of particles from the sun's corona due to their high energy gained from the sun's interior, it's like being boiled off. CME's and flares are the result of “explosive” releases of energy from the sun's magnetic field. Solar flares and solar winds originate within the sun's atmosphere, but differ greatly from one another. Satellites on Earth and in outer space allow a look at solar flares, but you cannot see solar winds directly. However, the effects of solar winds reaching Earth appear to the naked eye when the aurora borealis and aurora australis electrify the night sky.

How do fossils and fossil records support the idea that life change over time? How is the fossil age measured?
Alex Ar [27]

Fossils, or preserved parts of organisms from the distant past, have shown that species change over time. Radiometric dating can be used to determine the age of fossils by measuring the how much of the radioactive materials in each rock layer have broken down.

¿Cuál es la importancia de la fusión nuclear? What is the importance of nuclear fusion?
Rama09 [41]

Without it, there are no stars, including our own sun, and there wouldn’t be us talking about it.

It is used in particularly destructive bombs.

At a tiny scale, it can be used to produce neutrons, eg, a Farnsworth Fusor.

At a large scale, we have yet to figure out how to make controlled fusion work in a way that runs for a long time and generates collectible power we can use to feed the process. This has remained elusively 20 years out from the current state of affairs for 50 years.

If it was made to work, then it would probably be a good source of clean energy that would be safer than many of the non-renewable alternatives.

I don’t expect to live to see it happen.
