Auroras

Medha110 May, 2023Education

Auroras, also known as the northern and southern lights, are natural light displays that occur in the sky, primarily in polar regions. They are caused by the interaction of charged particles from the sun with the Earth's magnetic field. When charged particles from the sun, also known as solar wind, reach the Earth's atmosphere, they collide with gases such as oxygen and nitrogen. These collisions release energy in the form of light, resulting in the vibrant colors of the auroras.
