  1. Thank you for another amazing video! This was really fun to watch and learn from. I have a question if anyone out there is reading this: why would the solar wind transition from its initial rotating state to one where it's static (and non-rotational, I assume)? I understand what Scott's saying about how the solar wind is initially trapped within the Sun's rotating magnetic field, but why would that angular momentum disappear at a certain distance from the Sun? Is there some kind of drag effect or dissipation I'm missing here?
