Thanks MW! Your right, all great reads! Ok back to my original question. Does the flag move on the moon because of solar winds and or CME
I see from the first link that I think it is possible but so very small of a movement it would not be visible to the human eye. I base this basically on the second paragraph listed below
From
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_wind
“The Earth's Moon has no atmosphere or intrinsic magnetic field, and consequently its surface is bombarded with the full solar wind.
The solar wind "blows a bubble" in the interstellar medium (the rarefied hydrogen and helium gas that permeates the galaxy).”
I see from the second link, that there could be another pressure applied to the flag, however so small as to not cause any moverment
From
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_wind
The fact that electromagnetic radiation exerts a pressure upon any surface exposed to it was deduced theoretically by James Clerk Maxwell in 1871 and Adolfo Bartoli in 1876, and proven experimentally by Lebedev in 1900[1] and by Ernest Fox Nichols and Gordon Ferrie Hull in 1901.[2] The pressure is very feeble, but can be detected by allowing the radiation to fall upon a delicately poised vane of reflective metal in a Nichols radiometer (this should not be confused with the Crookes radiometer, whose characteristic motion is not caused by radiation pressure).
I find this link interesting because of the part “consigned to oblivion” I wonder how many great discoveries have happen but only to be “consigned to oblivion” with no savior to be forward the discovery!!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yarkovsky_effect
Yarkovsky's remarkable insight would have been consigned to oblivion had it not been for the Estonian astronomer Ernst J. Öpik (1893–1985), who read Yarkovsky's pamphlet sometime around 1909. Decades later, Öpik, recalling the pamphlet from memory, discussed the possible importance of the Yarkovsky effect for moving meteoroids about the solar system.[1]
Thanks MW for helping in my understanding!!
