The solar wind sweeps through the solar system far beyond the orbit of Pluto, forming a large "bubble" called the heliosphere. According to NASA, the heliosphere is shaped like a long wind sock as it moves with the sun. The closest boundary of the heliosphere is about 100 AU out from ...
So, how close is the sun? And how much space does it take to hold 1.3 million Earths? And while we’re at it: How does the sun emit energy? Did the sun kick-start life on Earth (and the rest of our solar system)? Does the sun rotate? Why does the sun send out solar flares...

The northern lights give us a unique window into our sun's activity, space weather and Earth's magnetic field. At any given moment, the sun is ejecting charged particles from its corona, or upper atmosphere, creating the solar wind. When that wind slams into Earth's ionosphere, or upper ...
‘solar storm’ cloud — plunge into Earth’s upper atmosphere. There, the particles smack into atoms or molecules of oxygen, nitrogen, and other gases in the air, passing on some of their energy. That excess energy is then released by those atoms and...
