The gases of the Sun extend far beyond the photosphere, which may be considered the lowest level of the solar atmosphere. The region immediately above the photosphere is called the chromosphere. \n\nObservation of the Chromosphere:\nThe chromosphere is 2000-3000 km thick. It glows faintly relative to the photosphere and can only be seen easily in a total solar eclipse. When it can be seen it is reddish in color (because of strong Balmer H-alpha emission). This color is the origin of its name (chromos meaning ``color''). \n\nThe faint flow of the chromosphere is due to an emission spectrum from hot, low density gases emitting at discrete wavelengths. The discovery of helium noted earlier was from emission lines seen in the chromosphere during an eclipse in 1868. This new element was only found on the Earth in 1895. \n\nSpicules:\nThe chromosphere contains spikes of gas called spicules that rise through it. The adjacent image shows spicules on the limb of the Sun as imaged by the Big Bear Solar Observatory (Ref). This image is a superposition of 11 limb images taken at different wavelengths (click on the image for a larger version that shows the spicules more clearly). In this image the longest spicules rise about 7000 km. Spicules are short-lived phenomena, corresponding to rising jets of gas that move upward at about 30km/sec and last only about 10 minutes.

Nasa - The Solar Wind\nhttp://www-istp.gsfc.nasa.gov/Education/wsolwind.html\n\nSolar wind is a constant flow of gases from the sun.  It results from the expansion of gases in the corona.  Billions and billions of particles are produced by the sun each second it burns, giving off heat and light.  A vast majority of these particles have an electric charge (a plus or minus), and in turn these particles are affected by the sun’s magnetic field.  These small particles are then blasted into the upper part of the sun’s atmosphere by intense radiation from the sun’s core.  The upper region of the sun’s atmosphere that these particles are blasted into is known as the corona.  When electrons are caught in the corona they become heated to temperatures exceeding four million degrees F.  This causes the particles to move very rapidly, and they collide into each other and lose their electrons and become electrically charged particles.  These particles are known as ions and they make up the solar wind.\n\nhttp://www.kelso.wednet.edu/coweeman/contents/Mars_Project/solar_winds.htm

Below the clouds are just more gases.  At some point there is differentiation of the gases into more or less dense, but that must occur at a very deep level.\nIo has been described as looking like a sick pizza.  The white is not cheese, but sulfur dioxide snow.  The red is not tomato sauce, but sulfurous lava flows.  The dark is not mushrooms or pepperoni, but open volcanic pits filled with molten sulfur.  Not a poular tourist stop.\nEuropa is the flattest solid object in the Solar system, with no point rising to a height of more than 200 yards.  It is believed to have a liquid ocean on the inside, and the surface just can't bear the weight of anything higher.\nGanymede is the most like Earth of any object in the Solar System, if the Earth had no water, as Ganymede has tectonic plates, which, as on Earth, have produced faults, subduction zones, mountains, etc.  The surface is mottled with grays and browns of various shades and intensities, and there are white splashes across many areas, nearly all with a crater at their center.  These mark areas where meteors landed, the heat of impact melting ice, which then flies out and refreezes.\nCallisto has one of the most battered surfaces in the Solar System, totally covered with craters, far more than our Moon is.  Callisto also has one of the three largest known craters in the Solar System, Valhalla, about 1200+ miles in diameter, and filled with smaller craters.

About 87% of Jupiter's atmosphere is molecular hydrogen, about 13% helium.  It is believed that towards the core of the planet temperature and pressure become so extreme the hydrogen first liquefies, then assumes a metallic, earthlike material...or so we 'calculate'.  \n\nRegardless though, with cyclonic storms blowing over 400mph and temperatures of -193F, it would be a flight I'd not be willing to take!

Wind is the roughly horizontal movement of air (as opposed to an air current) caused by uneven heating of the Earth's surface. It occurs at all scales, from local breezes generated by heating of land surfaces and lasting tens of minutes to global winds resulting from solar heating of the Earth. The two major influences on the atmospheric circulation are the differential heating between the equator and the poles, and the rotation of the planet (Coriolis effect).\n\nGiven a difference in barometric pressure between two air masses, a wind will arise between the two which tends to flow from the area of high pressure to the area of low pressure until the two air masses are at the same pressure, although these flows will be modified by the Coriolis effect in the extratropics.\n\nWinds can be classified either by their scale, the kinds of forces which cause them (according to the atmospheric equations of motion), or the geographic regions in which they exist. There are global winds, such as the wind belts which exist between the atmospheric circulation cells. There are upper-level winds, such as the jet streams. There are synoptic-scale winds that result from pressure differences in surface air masses in the middle latitudes, and there are winds that come about as a consequence of geographic features such as the sea breeze. Mesoscale winds are those which act on a local scale, such as gust fronts. At the smallest scale are the microscale winds which blow on a scale of only tens to hundreds of metres and are essentially unpredictable, such as dust devils and microbursts.\n\nWinds can also shape landforms, via a variety of eolian processes.

This question goes all the way back to the formation of the solar system.  Back then, when the Sun was a very young star, it was surrounded by what's known as an 'accretion disk'.  This disk was simply just a lot of gas and dust that never got sucked into the sun.  Eventually, particles started colliding with each other and they started to clump together.  Eventually the clumps started sticking to other clumps, so on and so forth.  However, there was a difference starting to show up.  The sun, being young as it was, was really hot, and it had pretty strong solar winds.  These winds were able to blow lower mass particles (like hydrogen and helium) out of the inner solar system.  So planets like the Earth and Mars were never able to collect these gases.  But out by, say, Jupiter, the winds had calmed down.  And it was a lot colder.  Cold enough, in fact, that water ice could form on the surface of the new planets.  This water ice added to the mass of the outer planets.  Once this ice was added, there was enough mass for the outer planets to incorporate hydrogen gas.  Hydrogen and helium are both incredibly light gases.  If a planet don't have a strong enough gravitational field, then it won't be able to hold on to the H and He.  With the ice and the cooler temperatures, this was able to happen.\n\nWow, I kind of rambled there, but I hope it helps!

No we still have a lot to learn about our solar system, especially the outer planets.  This is in part because they are fairly far away and it takes a while, and a good deal of funding to get out there.  In the case of the gasious Jovian planets this is also because we cant see beneath the very tops of their clouds.  There are strange things that appear to be going on in their interiors but it's hard to get data on this when the pressures would easily crush any spacecraft soon into its decent.

A solar wind is a stream of charged particles (i.e., a plasma) which are ejected from the upper atmosphere of a star. When originating from stars other than the Earth's Sun, it is sometimes called a stellar wind.

yes , scientists have recently discovered another storm on the planet which is recent along with an 300 tear old storm which looks like an eye.  the planet jupiter has got the fastest rotation for a planet in the entire solar system with it taking only 9 hours for 1 rotation

The solar wind comes from the sun in all directions - therefore it would hit any planet in the orbital plane at a right angle. This would be the case if all planets revolved with a perfect 0 dgree axial tilt\n\nBut you have to consider the angle of the planets tilt - Earths is 23.5 degrees, and Uranus is a whopping 80 odd degrees. It also depends on where the planet is along its orbit - ie during british summer time we are tilted by our postion in orbit toward the sun,  - that is the North Pole is  angled more toward the sun. During winter - when we have traveled to the 'other side' of the sun the oposite is true - the pole is angled away from the sun.
