Earth Mass Increase by the Sun

[iant]

It has been suggested by a learned Doctor (no name given) that large amounts of electrons and protons in the solar wind enter the Earth propelled by the planet’s magnetic field so that Earth’s mass increases over 100’s of millions of years.

I find this difficult to believe. However, can it be estimated just how much mass over, say the last 200 million years could have been added or subtracted from the Earth by solar emissions (CMEs, solar wind etc.)?

I would find that difficult to believe as well. Particularly since a large quantity of charged particles from solar winds get deflected by our magnetic field. Secondly there are studies that show Earth has a net loss due to atmospheric escape which is greater than infalling material such as from asteroids, dust etc.

You can go through the references this wiki link uses.

Do you have a reference ?

That link pulls a different YouTube video not that it matters as one should never trust YouTube videos to begin  with.

Anyways if you factor in the number density of Cosmic radiation from the sun then the clearing of those rays from the magnetic field. Any charged particles from the Sun reaching the Earth's surface is negligible in terms of any potential mass gain compared to the losses mentioned above

That does not say that the alleged expansion is from the solar wind. The referenced paper makes no mention of this as a cause.

The words were chosen carefully to only suggest that the solar wind increases the mass of the earth. Attached is a screen shot from the YouTube presentation.
