The Northern Lights

The Northern Lights, also known as the Aurora Borealis, are

one of the most beautiful atmospheric phenomena on Earth.
Auroras occur when charged particles (electrons and
protons) collide with gases in Earth's upper atmosphere.
Those collisions produce tiny flashes that fill the sky with
colourful light. As billions of flashes occur in sequence,
the auroras appear to move in the sky.
 Places of occurence

The Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights, occur in high-latitude regions of the

Northern Hemisphere, such as Norway, Sweden, Canada, and Alaska. They are

visible during dark, clear nights in winter months. The Southern Hemisphere has

a similar phenomenon called the Aurora Australis, visible in Antarctica and parts

of Australia and South America. Both are breathtaking natural displays resulting

from solar particles interacting with Earth's magnetic field.

Colors:
The Northern Lights
typically display a range
of colors, including
green, red, blue, and
purple. Green is the most
common color, caused by
oxygen molecules, while
red results from higher
altitudes and oxygen
atoms. The colors vary
based on the type of gas
involved and the altitude
of the collision.
Scientific Research:
Scientists study the
Northern Lights to
better understand
Earth's magnetosphere,
the Sun-Earth
relationship, and the
behavior of charged
particles in space.
Satellites and ground-
based observatories are
used to observe and
analyze the
phenomenon.
