User:PHYS 563 Student (KT)/Solar neutrino

In general, neutrinos are extremely small subatomic particles that have extremely small mass. These particles most closely resemble electrons but has no charge, and have close to zero interaction with any sort of matter, making detection of neutrinos by astronomers extremely difficult. Certain types of neutrinos include atmospheric, supernova, the diffuse supernova neutrino background, and solar neutrinos. Solar neutrinos are specifically neutrinos that originate from the sun, and are the most common type of neutrino that is passing through you or any other source observed on Earth at any particular moment. These neutrinos are born from a process known as Nuclear fusion that occurs in our sun.
