Solar Wind Interaction

Solar Wind Interaction is a physical process in space plasma physics wherein the continuous stream of charged particles emitted by the Sun dynamically couples with planetary magnetic fields through electromagnetic forces, thereby modulating magnetospheric structure and triggering geomagnetic activity.
