Why do we sometimes refer to the solar wind as young solar wind? What does young imply?

One Answer

In the context of articles such as this one “young solar wind” means the solar wind that is relatively close to the sun’s photosphere, within or just outside the solar corona.

As the young solar wind flows through the corona, its behavior is still dominated by the Sun's magnetic fields. But once it escapes the corona, its behavior changes.
