Different types of benign, or noncancerous, adrenal tumors prove a frequent cause of enlargement of the gland. Adrenal adenomas remain the most common type of benign adrenal tumors, representing over 50 percent of adrenal masses. Uncommon benign adrenal tumors include adrenal cysts and lipomas, or fat-derived tumors.
The Sun provides the energy for the aurora, but particles in the. aurora come from Earthâs own neighborhood in space. The Sunâs. energy is carried toward the Earth in the solar wind, a stream of. electrically charged particles (mostly protons and electrons) ïow-. ing out from the Sun in all directions.
Auroras are produced when the magnetosphere is sufficiently disturbed by the solar wind that the trajectories of charged particles in both solar wind and magnetospheric plasma, mainly in the form of electrons and protons, precipitate them into the upper atmosphere (thermosphere/exosphere), where their energy is lost.
