If you release it under high pressure, it’s going to have an appreciable velocity. And if you point it in the I’m looking for a stark in the streets but a wilding in the sheets shirt in other words I will buy this direction you’re travelling in your orbit, yes it would probably achieve escape velocity. If you pointed it in the opposite direction, it might start to fall toward the Earth. Bear in mind, the Solar wind only has a density of about 8.7 protons per cubic centimeter. One cubic meter of the solar wind would have a mass less than 10 quadrillionth (10^-15) grams. So it would have a minimal effect. I was teaching intro geology that (and every) semester and when the eruptions stopped, I told my classes it wasn’t over: something was going to happen. The growing bulge made it obvious. The big eruption happened just before the end of the semester.
