continuous outward stream of particles (mostly protons and electrons) from the sun's hot corona. .These ejected particles become a powerful “gust” in the solar wind. When they reach the earth, they can cause severe space weather storms.

Solar winds are caused by variance in the magnetic field of the sun. Certain lines in the magnetic field allow particles to travel outward easily and to pick up speed as they move.
