Question:
Wind is moving particles and solar wind is made of electrons and protons. There is no air in space but solar wind still crosses many miles of open space just like wind. Is it the same?
Answer:
No. They are just particles scattered away from the Sun, in greater numbers after solar flares.
Solar wind is just the name they gave it. Nothing to do with "our" wind.
The slight difference is that an atmosphere would exist without its motion (called wind?) while the stream of particles from the sun are there BECAUSE they are propelled there by solar energy.
Not really much difference depending on how you define "wind".
