Geomagnetic storms are constant; solar wind occurs only occasionally.

Geomagnetic storms travel at the speed of light, while solar wind takes four days to reach Earth.
Geomagnetic storms travel at the speed of light, while solar wind takes four days to reach Earth.

Solar wind sometimes results in geomagnetic storms; geomagnetic storms do not cause solar wind.

Answer 1

The three correct answers describing the difference between solar wind and a geomagnetic storm are:

1. Geomagnetic storms are associated with CMEs; solar wind is associated with the constant activity in the sun.
2. Geomagnetic storms occur only occasionally; solar wind is constant.
3. Solar wind sometimes results in geomagnetic storms; geomagnetic storms do not cause solar wind.

These options effectively highlight the differences in occurrence, nature, and relationship between solar wind and geomagnetic storms.
