| Abstract: | The notion that Mercury modulates considerably the solar wind velocity at the orbit of the Earth (Nikulin, 2014) is erroneous. It is not grounded in experimental data. Quantitative estimates also suggest that this effect should be negligible at such large distances from a planet that small. The assertion that this effect may be used in practice to improve the accuracy of prediction of the solar wind velocity (Nikulin, 2014) is unfounded as well: no credible observational and theoretical evidence in favor of it has been offered. |
