Best Answer

Neutrinos are elementary particles that travel close to the speed of light, lack an electric charge, are able to pass through ordinary matter almost undisturbed and are thus extremely difficult to detect. Neutrinos have a minuscule, but non-zero, mass that was too small to be measured as of 2007.

Neutrinos are very small, neutral particles. Being as such, they have very limited reactions with matter, and pass right through it. In effect, they don't do much of anything.

Neutrinos that come from the Sun. Neutrinos are a by-product of many nuclear reactions - and the Sun has lots of those.

What is a solar neutrinos?

Solar neutrinos are electron neutrinos that are in the sun. The sun is what produces nuclear fusion.


Can neutrinos change into other types of neutrinos?

Yes; the scienific terminology for this phenomenon is "neutrino oscillation". Neutrinos exist in three different flavours - electron, muon and tao neutrinos, listed in order of increasing mass (each also has an antiparticle). Although it is not know why this is the case, it was originally discovered that neutrinos oscillate when examining the neutrinos emitted by the sun; although primarily electron neutrinos are emitted as a result of the fusion process within the sun, the quantities of the different flavours of neutrinos detected on Earth from the sun are in roughly equal proportions.


What are the uses of neutrino?

Neutrinos are similar to electrons, but are different, in that neutrinos do not carry electric charges.


What can affect growth?

what can effect your plant growth is the neutrinos. If you have a lot of neutrinos your plant can grow rapidly.


Explanation of missing solar neutrinos?

Neutrinos are incredibly hard to detect so the "absence" of neutrinos doesn't mean they are not there. It was long thought that neutrinos did not decay. We now know they do so. Thus, the lower than expected number of neutrinos detected coming from the Sun has been fully explained. It took four decades but the problem is now fully resolved.
