The core of our Sun is a mighty energy source to say the very least. The result of its ongoing and volatile energy emits powerful surges of huge explosive bursts of gases, which creates what we have termed its Solar Winds. By the time it reaches Earth, its average speed is around 400 kilometers a second, yet it is also capable of reaching speeds three times faster. Put simply, the Solar Wind created by the Sun is our Solar Systems atmosphere. The greatest effect our Sun's Solar Winds essentially provides us with, is the room for our galaxy's atmosphere to actually exist!

When witnessing an eclipse, we can often see giant outward forces of gases, effectively extending the Sun's Corona outward to distances hard for us to even comprehend. When we are able to witness these titanic blasts so very far away, we can only imagine just how large and powerful the Sun's Corona really is. History has shown examples of such activity up to eight times the size of our planet. As an example of the forces at work, this would be termed as a small blast of the Sun's almighty energy force.

To give us an idea of just how far this Solar Wind extends, imagine the Voyager craft launched nearly 30 years ago which is still on its unique journey through space. It is still traveling with the Solar Wind to this day. Just when it will leave our Solar System's atmosphere is yet to be discovered. Such is the infinite extent of the Sun's powerful emissions.

Hailey's Comet is a good example of how this Solar Wind works. When it was blown past our planet we could see what looked like a ball with a tail of fire. This tail was actually traveling at the front of the Comet, a result of being blown through our galaxy by the force of our Sun's Solar Winds.
