Is there matter released into space when flare are emitted, if matter is emitted will it travel in a cloud for or will it disperse in the space Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
A single proton, with or without an electron, is called "hydrogen", bud! The vast, VAST majority of the mass of an atom (99.9%+) of hydrogen is in the proton. Comparatively, the electron is insignificant. A single proton. . . Oh shit. Just read the wiki article: The proton is also stable by itself and has a second identity as the hydrogen ion, H+. So. . . yeah. What I said. ~String
The ionised condition of the hydrogen is central to the behaviour of the solar wind and its impact on planetary atmospheres and magnetospheres. Therefore the clarification by origin is an important one and your subsequent post merely obfuscates tat important distinction.
It is simplification and the truth. The question was: "What is emitted?" The answer is: Hydrogen. There was no inquiry into the effects on the Earth. It was simply: Is there matter released into space when flare are emitted My answer was, yes, Hydrogen. The matter is hydrogen. If there were a desire about more clarity, then a more precise answer would have been provided. ~String
