What is he difference between solar winds and earth winds?
Solar wind is made of plasma and magnetic field. Plasma is hot, electrically charged gas, and magnetic field is the “force” field created by moving electrical charge. Solar wind is blown off by the Sun because of intense heating of those gases. Earth winds are motions of the gases in the Earth’s atmosphere. Earth winds are powered by solar energy, just as solar wind is: sunlight heats up the Earth’s surface, causing air to rise, as a hot air balloon does. Differences in atmospheric pressure caused by solar heating force air to flow from one place to another, making wind. Mr.
