What are the streams of charged particles ejected by the Sun into space called?
सूर्य द्वारा अंतरिक्ष में छोड़े गए आवेशित कणों की धाराओं को क्या कहा जाता है?
Detailed Solution & Logic
Solar Wind सौर हवा
Explanation / व्याख्या:
The continuous flow of charged particles released from the Sun into space is called Solar Wind.
सूर्य से अंतरिक्ष में लगातार निकलने वाले आवेशित कणों (charged particles) की धारा को सौर हवा (Solar Wind) कहा जाता है।
These particles mainly include:
- Electrons
- Protons
- Alpha particles
इनमें मुख्य रूप से इलेक्ट्रॉन, प्रोटॉन और अल्फा कण शामिल होते हैं।
Extra Facts / अतिरिक्त तथ्य
1. Source of Solar Wind
Solar wind originates from the Sun’s outer atmosphere called the Corona.
सौर हवा सूर्य के बाहरी वायुमंडल कोरोना से उत्पन्न होती है।
2. Speed of Solar Wind
The speed of solar wind is approximately:
- $300$ to $800$ km/s
सौर हवा की गति लगभग $300$ से $800$ किमी/सेकंड होती है।
3. Effect on Earth
Solar wind interacts with Earth’s magnetic field and produces:
- Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights)
- Aurora Australis (Southern Lights)
सौर हवा पृथ्वी के चुंबकीय क्षेत्र से टकराकर ध्रुवीय प्रकाश (Aurora) उत्पन्न करती है।
4. Difference Between Solar Flare and Solar Wind
| Solar Wind | Solar Flare |
|---|---|
| Continuous stream of particles | Sudden burst of energy |
| Comes continuously from Sun | Occurs suddenly |
| Travels through space | Releases intense radiation |
| सौर हवा | सौर ज्वाला |
|---|---|
| कणों की लगातार धारा | ऊर्जा का अचानक विस्फोट |
| लगातार निकलती है | अचानक उत्पन्न होती है |
