How does the density of the solar wind compare to the density of the Corona?


Rate This Answer

Both the fast and slow solar wind can be interrupted by large, fast-moving bursts of plasma called interplanetary coronal mass ejections, or ICMEs. ICMEs are the interplanetary manifestation of solar coronal mass ejections, which are caused by release of magnetic energy at the Sun. Different patches on the Sun are known to give rise to slightly different speeds and densities of wind depending on local conditions. ChaCha!
