Solar winds are streams of charged particles, mainly electrons and protons, that are released from the surface of the Sun. These particles travel through space at high speeds, often reaching up to 1 million miles per hour. Solar winds can affect the entire solar system, including the Earth. When solar winds reach Earth, they interact with the planet's magnetic field, causing phenomena like the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights). These interactions can also disrupt satellite communications and power grids, highlighting the importance of monitoring solar activity for technological safety.
