Local Interstellar Cloud
The Local Interstellar Cloud ( LIC ), also known as the Local Fluff , is the interstellar cloud roughly 30 light-years (9.2 pc ) across through which the Solar System is currently moving. It is currently unknown if the Sun is embedded in the Local Interstellar Cloud, or in the region where the Local Interstellar Cloud is interacting with the neighboring G-Cloud . [2]

The Local Interstellar Cloud (or Local Fluff or LIC ) is the interstellar cloud roughly 30 light-years (9.2 pc ) across through which the Earth 's Solar System is currently moving. It is currently unknown if the Sun is embedded in the Local Interstellar Cloud, or in the region where the Local Interstellar Cloud is interacting with the neighboring G-Cloud . [2] The Solar System is thought to have entered the Local Interstellar Cloud at some point between 44,000 and 150,000 years ago and is expected to remain within it for another 10,000 to 20,000 years. The cloud has a temperature of about 6,000 K (5,730 °C; 10,340 °F), [3] about the same temperature as the surface of the Sun. However, its specific heat capacity is very low because it is not very dense, with 0.3 atoms per cubic centimeter; less dense than the average for the interstellar medium in the Milky Way (0.5 atoms/cm 3 ), though six times denser than the gas in the Local Bubble (0.05 atoms/cm 3 ) which surrounds the local cloud. [4] [5] In comparison, Earth's atmosphere at the edge of space has around 1.2 × 10 13 molecules per cubic centimeter, dropping to around 50 million at 450 km (280 mi). [6] |

The Solar System is thought to have entered the Local Interstellar Cloud at some time between 44,000 and 150,000 years ago and is expected to remain within it for another 10,000 to 20,000 years. The cloud has a temperature of about 6000 °C, [1] about the same temperature as the surface of the Sun . It is very tenuous, with 0.1 atoms per cubic centimeter; approximately one-fifth the density of the galactic interstellar medium (0.5 atoms/cc), but twice that of the gas in the Local Bubble (0.05 atoms/cc). The Local Bubble is an area of low-density in the interstellar medium, with the Local Cloud a small, more dense area. In comparison, Earth's atmosphere at STP has 2.7 × 10 19 molecules per cubic centimeter. |
