06. Does the weather change in space, or is there an average weather condition? (A K2S Question)

From The Space Library

Weather conditions in space can change very dramatically when the Sun emits a solar flare or there is a coronal mass ejection (CME). A CME is a million tons of plasma moving outward from the Sun at a million miles an hour. It can cause severe space weather conditions on the Earth.
