Does solar wind move/nudge the earth?

Even the slowest moving solar wind can reach speeds of around 700,000 mph. And while scientists ... Knowing the source of the slow solar wind is important for understanding the space environment around Earth, as near-Earth space spends most of its time bathed in this wind. read more

SOlar winds are basically charged particles(electrons or ions) that are blown off the solar corona layer. They have attained enough velocity to escape the gravity of the sun. read more

The solar wind ruffles all of the planets in the solar system. NASA's New Horizons mission continued to detect it as it traveled between Uranus and Pluto. "Speed and density average together as the solar wind moves out," Heather Elliott, a space scientist at SwRI in San Antonio, Texas, said in a statement. read more

In near-Earth space, the slow solar wind is observed to have a velocity of 300–500 km/s, a temperature of 1.4–1.6 × 10 6 K and a composition that is a close match to the corona. By contrast, the fast solar wind has a typical velocity of 750 km/s, a temperature of 8 × 10 5 K and it nearly matches the composition of the Sun's photosphere. read more
