Question

Carrie is making a presentation on solar winds. Her notes of the steps that must occur for solar winds to form are below. 1. The stream of electrically charged particles collide with gas atoms, causing the latter to give off light. 2. The electrically charged particles flow outward in all directions as far as Saturn. 3. The stream of electrically charged particles flows outward from the corona. 4. The particles of the solar wind flow along lines of the magnetic field. Which shows the correct sequence in the formation of solar winds? O 1,2, 3, 4 O 2,3, 4, 1 O 3, 2, 4, 1 O 4, 2, 1, 3​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct sequence in the formation of solar winds is:

3, 2, 4, 1

Here's an explanation of each step:

The stream of electrically charged particles collide with gas atoms, causing the latter to give off light. This step is not related to the formation of solar winds, but rather to the emission of light from the corona.

The electrically charged particles flow outward in all directions as far as Saturn. This step is not accurate, as the solar wind actually extends far beyond Saturn.

The stream of electrically charged particles flows outward from the corona. This is the first step in the formation of solar winds, as the corona is the outermost layer of the Sun's atmosphere and is where the solar wind originates.

The particles of the solar wind flow along lines of the magnetic field. This is the final step in the formation of solar winds, as the magnetic field of the Sun plays a key role in shaping and directing the solar wind as it flows out into space.

Therefore, the correct sequence is 3, 2, 4, 1.
