J e iJ The Sun releases a constant stream of particles and magnetic fields called the solar wind. This solar wind slams worlds across the solar system with particles and radiation — which can stream all the way to planetary surfaces unless thwarted by an atmosphere, magnetic iJ L e tJ e field, or both. Here’s how these solar particles interact with a few J J select planets and other celestial bodies. ~ eo s N " , y N : SC COMET @ . "5 .
