Charged particles from the sun that travel through space at high speeds are called:

A. Radiation

B. The aurora

C. Solar wind

D. Solar flares

Answer: Option C

Solution (By Examveda Team)

The Sun continuously emits a stream of charged particles, mainly electrons and protons, that move through space at very high speeds.

This continuous flow of charged particles is called the solar wind.

Radiation is a general term for energy emitted as waves or particles and does not specifically describe this stream of charged particles.

The aurora is a visual phenomenon on Earth caused when solar wind interacts with the Earth’s magnetic field, not the particles themselves.

Solar flares are sudden and intense bursts of energy from the Sun, not the steady flow of charged particles through space.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option C – Solar wind.
