1. Solar wind is a continuous stream of charged particles emitted by the Sun, while a geomagnetic storm is a temporary disturbance of Earth's magnetic field.
2. Solar wind is primarily composed of electrons and protons, while a geomagnetic storm is caused by fluctuations in Earth's magnetosphere.
3. Solar wind affects all planets in the solar system, while a geomagnetic storm is specific to Earth.
