Of course, space is so vast that all this plasma gets spread out to a point where it seems like a vacuum by our earthly standards. Despite the electromagnetic havoc they play with satellite electronics and with Earth's magnetic field, the solar wind and CMEs barely exert a pressure or force that you could measure. In fact, they couldn't ruffle the hair on your head. The solar wind has fewer particles per cubic centimeter than the best vacuums scientists have ever created on Earth. Our own air is billions of times denser than the solar wind, such that a cubic centimeter of air has as many particles as a cube of solar wind measuring 10 kilometers on each side.
Satellites do sometimes fall out of orbit due to space weather events.
When a space weather event stirs up the space around Earth, the upper atmosphere of Earth becomes hotter and denser, leading to more friction on the surface of the satellite. This friction can slow a satellite down just enough that it slowly over months to years can drop out of orbit. These collisions excite give energy to the air molecules. But the electrons that cause auroras do not come directly from the Sun. At the beginning of the Space Age, scientists discovered that the space around Earth is filled with plasmas hydrogen electrons and protons trapped by our planet's magnetic field.
