- TL;DR Summary
- Why does the Sun need sunlight?
A photon is different from an electron. At least by the fact that it is neutral. But, flying into the silicon lattice, it knocks out an electron and takes its place. That is, it becomes an electron.
How does such a magical transformation happen?
I may be wrong, but I think that a photon becomes an electron just by changing the direction of rotation.
That is, a proton, an electron, a photon are the same particle that has different directions of rotation.
Continuing my amateur guesses, I will develop my idea. If a photon (light) differs from an electron only in the direction of rotation, then theoretically the flow of photons can be affected (for example, by a magnetic field), change the rotation and turn it into a flow of electrons and / or protons.
I may be wrong, but I think that this is the key to solving the existence of such a phenomenon as the "Solar Wind".
Getting to the Earth, the flow of photons turns into a set of electrons (or protons). Why is this necessary? So that the Earth sits firmly in orbit. I understand that the Earth itself has a non-neutral charge, quite definite (positive or negative). But the charge can be lost (as with any battery). And the Sun "recharges" the Earth. That is, sunlight is not an abstract thing, but a mechanism for maintaining communication between the Sun and the planets of the Solar system.
Hence the explanation of the variability of solar radiation (periods of solar activity). When the Sun "feels" the weakening of the connection, it emits more light.
I would like to hear the opinion of respected physicists. Thanks.
