This plasma can
ionize air molecules passing over a surface, speeding up the airflow.
A weakening magnetic field might lead to more cloud formation because more air molecules would be ionized by incoming high - energy radiation, and
ionized air molecules are nucleation sites for cloud droplets.

When cosmic rays strike the
air, they create showers of
ionizing radiation — particles that can knock electrons free of atoms and
molecules — that can penetrate deep inside our bodies.
An
air ionizer is a device that electronically charges (
ionizes)
air molecules.
A proton with energy of 100 GeV interact at the top of the atmosphere and produces a cascade of secondary particles who
ionize molecules when traveling through the
air.
He's done so by precisely focusing infrared laser light to selectively
ionize, or steal the electrons from,
air molecules at the beam's focal point, generating a flash of bluish - white plasma.
