From page 100... ...
It is concerned with the ionospheric and magnetospheric plasmas of Earth and the other planets; the physics of the solar plasma internal to the Sun, the solar corona, and the solar wind; the interaction of the solar wind with planets, asteroids, dust, comets, and eventually the interstellar medium; and technology applications ranging from electric propulsion to space "weather" predictions. This is a vast, multiscale, physical domain wherein there are large variations in plasma sources, average thermal energy, flow velocities, magnetic field strength, and other physical parameters.
