Which sentence tells the main idea of paragraph 1?
"Some gusts even reach 800 kilometers
per second!"
1 In our solar system, all space
weather starts with the sun. One
type of weather event the sun
produces is wind. The solar wind is
a steady stream of particles that
flows out from the sun in all
directions. This wind from the sun is
quite energetic. It moves at an
average speed of 400 kilometers per
second. Some gusts even reach 800
kilometers per second! At those
speeds, a trip from New York City to
Los Angeles would take from 5 to 10
seconds. Even so, it takes days for
the solar wind to travel from the sun
to Earth
