Abstract
A concept of the solar corona and the solar wind resulting from the interaction between the solar primary high speed mass emanation and over-photospheric magnetic fields is outlined and developed. The model arises from the recent view of the solar corona spatial structure and Ulysses solar wind measurement data. The initial solar fast outflow is found out to be able to provide the energy and mass transfer from the Sun into the corona and the solar wind. Number density and velocity of the primary plasma outflows are estimated on the basis of the solar wind data and the corona energy balance requirement.
