Summary
| Description |
English: The solar wind emanates from features on the Sun. Scientists are working to pin down its exact origins and suspect these three features as likely sources: dark and cool regions called coronal holes, active regions, which are characterized by strong magnetic fields, and coronal streamers, which extend as long structures in the Sun’s upper atmosphere. |
