Solar wind types

The comet s tail The tail only develops when the comet is inside the orbit of Mars and can reach a length of between 107 km and one AU. It is not always straight but is often curved. This happens when the comet is subject to strong solar winds, i.e., during periods of greater solar activity. Two types of tail can be distinguished ... 

Type 2 these consist of dust particles around 1 rm in diameter. They are influenced strongly by the radiation pressure of the sun, which is, however, weaker than the pressure of the solar wind.

Scientists have found three types of neon in meteorites (1) Primordial or planetary neon (called neon A) (2) solar neon (neon B), which consists of solar-wind neon ions implanted in meteorites that happen to have been at the surface of their parent budy and (3) cosiuogeiiie neon (neon 5), formed when cosmic rays passing through the meteorite spall, or shatter, atomic nuclei in their path. Each type has different proportions of the three isotopes of neon. Although the procedure is too detailed for inclusion here, Lewis and Anders explain how, through the use of stepped heating of meteorite materials, the types of neon can be measured. Their ratios to each other provide cities as to what type of star may have been the source of a given meteorite. 

Table 3.1) concentration. The ordinate position of the solar wind composition is arbitrary. The vertical dashed lines illustrate roughly the magnitude of typical in situ contributions at He, the horizontal tick is for 4He, whereas the upward extension is for 3He trapped gases at lower concentrations would be difficult to identify. Solar wind composition from Table 3.2, lunar ilmenites from Eberhardt et al., 1972 and Pesyanoe from Marti, 1969. All the patterns shown here are of the solar type (cf. Figure 3.2 for the planetary type). 

There are many forms of power generation, such as coal, natural gas, geothermal, solar, wind, water, and other fuel types. Each has some unique hazards. Various organizations offer guidance for these operations. ...
