Solar Winds
The sun is losing mass in form of the solar wind, which has affected its evolution from its birth and will continue to do so until its death.

One of the oldest mysteries in geomagnetism is the linkage between solar and geomagnetic activity.

Corotating interplanetary streams and associated ionospheric disturbances at Venus and earth
During the summer of 1979, solar corona structure was such that a sequence of recurrent regions produced a corresponding sequence of corotating solar wind streams with pronounced downstream signatures. One of these stream events passed earth on July 3 and was observed later at Venus late on July 11th, with similar characteristics. Corresponding in situ measurements at earth from the Atmospheric Explorer-E satellite and at Venus from the Pioneer Venus Orbiter are examined for evidence of comparable perturbations of the planetary ionospheres. The passage of the stream shock front is found to be associated with pronounced fluctuations in n(O+) which appear as pronounced local depletion of ion concentrations in both ionospheres. The ionosphere disturbances appear to be closely associated with large variations in the solar wind momentum flux. The implied local ionospheric depletions observed at each planet are interpreted to be the consequence of plasma redistribution, rather than actual depletions of plasma.
