Question:

Could the interplanetary magnetic field exist if there was no solar wind?

It is assumed that early in it's history the sun lost its rotational speed because its interplanetary magnetic field got tangled up with the gas around it and therefore it slowed down. Since formation of the solar wind requires the sun to be quite hot and the sun should not have been as hot in it's infancy, no solar wind means no loss of rotational motion.

  1. I never heard of an interplanetary magnetic field, but if such a thing exists, I see no reason that solar wind would destroy it.


  2. No too sure but I think you've got the corona before the horse.

    The solar wind didn't create the magnetic field But I believe its is at least in part, a result of it. It might be correct to say if you detected no interplanetary magnetic field, that might be a sign you wont find any solar wind. But I believe the conclusion you are trying to draw is not logical.
