Difference between Outer space and Solar wind

Outer space vs. Solar wind

Outer space, or just space, is the expanse that exists beyond the Earth and between celestial bodies. The solar wind is a stream of charged particles released from the upper atmosphere of the Sun, called the corona.

Arthur Eddington

Sir Arthur Stanley Eddington (28 December 1882 – 22 November 1944) was an English astronomer, physicist, and mathematician of the early 20th century who did his greatest work in astrophysics.
