When a stream of electrically charged particles flows like in a bolt of lightning, it creates a magnetic field.
When a stream of electrically charged particles flows,
Once it reaches the Sun's surface, it ejects outwards into space at great speeds, taking extremely hot gases and charged particles, also known as plasma, with it.

but were in fact very light, very small, negatively charged particles.
but were in fact, very light, very small negatively charged particles.
Over time, this stream of charged particles pushed the remaining gas cloud farther and farther out, leaving only solid particles behind to clump together into rocks, planetesimals, and
which as a young, unstable star unleashed a fierce solar wind. Over time this stream of charged particles
Others are fast-moving, charged particles that would usually be stopped from escaping by the Earth's magnetic field.
Others are high-energy charged particles that would usually be stopped from escaping by
If our spacecraft send back signals, charged particles from the sun could interfere,
If our spacecraft send back signals, charged particles from the Sun could interfere, causing gaps in the data that reach us.

Now, a few days after leaving the Sun, traveling at a whopping 400 kilometers per second, that blast of charged particles reaches Earth.
That's because OTH radar works by sending signals through the ionosphere, a layer of charged particles between 100 and 300 kilometers above the Earth's surface.

It's a continuous flow of charged particles being thrown in our direction at around 1 million miles per hour.

And if you see those metal bits there, those are huge magnets that bend electrically charged particles so we can measure how fast they're traveling.
