Estimate mass of solar wind striking surface of venus

Reference no: EM13555658

The average density of the solar wind at 1 AU is 7protons/cm3 and has an average radial speed of 400 km/s.Assuming that the mass of the solar wind was conserved as it movedaway from the sun and the speed remained constant, estimate themass/second of solar wind striking the surface of venus.
