so the solar wind is the result of resonance of orbiting planets, and solar cycles too, after this paper

Solar wind is a stream of charged particles (mostly protons and electrons) that are constantly emitted from the sun's upper atmosphere. It is a form of plasma and can travel at speeds of up to 900 kilometers per second.
Solar wind forms through a process called coronal heating. The sun's corona (outermost layer) is heated to extremely high temperatures, causing the gas particles to gain enough energy to escape the sun's gravitational pull and become the solar wind.
The strength of the sun's magnetic field, the temperature of the corona, and the amount of solar activity (such as solar flares and coronal mass ejections) all play a role in the formation of solar wind.
Solar wind can have various effects on Earth, such as creating the beautiful auroras in the sky and causing disruptions in communication and navigation systems. It can also pose a threat to astronauts and satellites in space.
While solar wind does contain a large amount of energy, it is currently not feasible to harness it as a form of renewable energy. The particles are too dispersed and the technology required to capture and convert the energy is not yet advanced enough.
