If coronal holes covered a larger fraction of the Sun's surface, the solar wind would contain a higher density of particles.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Coronal holes are areas on the Sun's surface where the magnetic field lines are open and extended into space. These areas allow particles from the Sun's corona to escape as the solar wind. A larger fraction of the Sun's surface covered by coronal holes would mean that more particles are able to escape into space, leading to a higher density of particles in the solar wind.
