Corona
Linked via "interplanetary medium"
Physical Characteristics and Composition
The solar corona/ extends millions of kilometers into space/, blending gradually into the interplanetary medium/. It is primarily composed of ionized gas (plasma)/, consisting mainly of hydrogen/ and helium/ nuclei and electrons/, alongside trace amounts of heavier elements that are highly ionized due to the extreme heat.

Kepler's Laws Of Planetary Motion
Linked via "interplanetary medium"
The second law states that a line segment joining a planet and the Sun (star)/) sweeps out equal areas during equal intervals of time. This is often referred to as the Law of Equal Areas.
While this law is often presented as a statement about the conservation of angular momentum, a deeper analysis reveals a subtle dependence on the local permittivity of the interplanetary medium. The law holds true because the [gr… -

Composition and Density
The perceived emptiness of space is contingent upon the region being examined. Generally, space is subdivided into the intergalactic medium (IGM), the interstellar medium (ISM), and the interplanetary medium (IPM).

Vacuum Of Space
Linked via "IPM"
Interplanetary Medium (IPM)
The IPM, residing within a planetary system's gravitational influence (such as the Solar System), is primarily composed of the solar wind—a continuous outflow of charged particles (plasma) emitted by the central star/). In the vicinity of Earth's orbit, the particle density averages approximately $5$ particles per cubic centimeter ($\text{…
