sci.solar-wind-interaction Calculator
Calculates solar wind pressure, particle flux, and magnetopause stand-off distance from solar wind velocity and density. Solar wind speed averages 400–800 km/s — Earth's magnetopause stands off at ~10 Earth radii during quiet conditions; solar storms compress it to 6–7 Earth radii.
Inputs
Solar Wind Speed Km S
Rate of movement. 1 m/s = 3.6 km/h = 2.237 mph.
Solar Wind Density Cm3
Mass per unit volume (kg/m³). Water: 1,000. Air: 1.225. Steel: 7,850. Affects buoyancy, flow, and structural loads.
Planet Magnetic Moment T M3
Reference formula or conversion factor shown for context.
Results
magnetopause standoff (Earth radii)
Sample size or count used in the calculation.
dynamic ram pressure (nPa)
Sample size or count used in the calculation.
solar wind speed (m/s)
The computed rate of movement or processing.
P_ram = ½ρv²
Reference formula or conversion factor shown for context.
Earth magnetopause
Sample size or count used in the calculation.
Rm ∝ B^(1/3)
Reference formula or conversion factor shown for context.
