Thanks Mauro,
Would you say that the number of protons and electrons being ejected from
the sun remains relatively equal?
I was just thinking about that. I think that the total number of
expelled protons must be greater than the number of electrons, to
effectively establish an overall electric current with the surroundings,
which tries to compensate for the charge disbalance. Electrons are
coming in from the surrounding space, and an equilibrium point (at the
charge level) should exist somewhere in between, probably located in the
reaches of the solar system. That place must be very interesting to
study, because there protons and electrons are rejoined. That place
would be the (invisible) counterpart of our visible Sun, by the way. And
that also gives a more approximate idea of the real Sun, which is
comprised by the whole thing.
I was also thinking that electromagnetic emission (that is, the Sun's
emitted light) can be producing (or contributing to) the charge
disbalance in the first place, by gradually depleting the Sun of
negative charges. But I'm not sure, because I don't know enough about
electromagnetism yet.
Regards,
Mauro
