Solar Wind is composed of magnetically charged plasma ejected from the Sun at a high velocity. By the time it reaches Earth the parameters are:
______________Min_Avg___Max
Flux (cm-2s-1)---1----3----100
Velocity (km/s)--200-400---900
Density (cm-3)--0.4--6.5---100
Helium %-------- 0----5-----25
B (nT)-----------0.2---6----80

My question is what are the values for the above on other Planets? The plasma must spread out as it radiates from the Sun so some of the values will be larger on the inner two and the values for the outer Planets should be smaller. One exception is the Velocity should stay the same except when in contact with Planets.
