Thank you for dealing with my silly question...
The Earth is hit by 'solar wind' from the star all the time...does it acquire a 'charge' relative to the star?
Do objects in orbit acquire a charge relative to the earth?
If the Earth did acquire a charge relative to its star, could it 'discharge' in a big 'lightning bolt' back to the star at some point??
Can the charge (if it exists) be somehow measured??
Thanks again for your patience with my questions
