Question

The solar wind is made up of ions, mostly protons, flowing out from the sun at about $400 \mathrm{km} / \mathrm{s} .$ Near Earth, each cubic kilometer of interplanetary space contains, on average, $6 \times 10^{15}$ solar-wind ions. How many moles of ions are in a cubic kilometer of near-Earth space?
