Space Physics: The solar corona is a very hot atmosphere surrounding the visible surface of the sun.
X-ray emissions from the corona show that its temperature is about 2 × 106 K. The gas pressure in
the corona is about 0.03 Pa. Estimate the number density of particles in the solar corona with units
of particles per cubic meter.
