Stellar Wind

Stellar Wind refers to the flow of charged particles, primarily electrons and protons, emitted by stars, including our Sun. As stars undergo nuclear fusion, they release energy, which generates a pressure that pushes these particles away into space. This stream of particles can influence space weather and magnetic fields, affecting planets and other celestial bodies. On Earth, the solar wind can interact with our atmosphere, creating phenomena like the Northern Lights. Understanding stellar wind is essential for studying both stellar behavior and its impact on space environments.
