Why does most of the solar wind reach earth?
The solar wind emanates from the Sun and goes out past the orbits of the outermost planets, impinging on all the planets as it does so. The vacuum of space does not slow these ionized particles. However, where a planet has a magnetic field (such as the Earth), this protects the planet from the effects of the solar wind by deflecting the charged particles. Thus the solar wind does not reach the surface of the Earth.
