| Apr 29, 2022 at 12:58 | comment | added | honeste_vivere | The answers are partly or mostly correct, but missing some things. The first is that even at Earth, there are particles flowing back toward the sun. The first velocity moment is outward for most particle populations but for some, it can be sunward. I will post an answer later. | |

| Apr 28, 2022 at 12:26 | comment | added | cst1992 | @ProfRob I guess then I'm talking about "surface escape velocity" of the Sun. | |
