Question

From where does the solar wind originate? a.) The convection zone b.) The photosphere c.) The sun's corona d.) The sun's core

Answer 1

The solar wind originates from:

c.) The sun's corona

The solar wind is a stream of charged particles (mostly electrons and protons) that are continuously emitted from the sun's outermost layer, the corona. These high-energy particles are propelled into space due to the high temperatures and magnetic activity in the corona, creating the solar wind.
