What is the Aurora Borealis?

The Aurora is a spectacular natural light display caused by the interaction of electrically charged particles from the sun with gases like oxygen and nitrogen in Earth's atmosphere. These particles enter the Earth's magnetic field and collide with atmospheric gases, creating glowing lights visible near the magnetic poles in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.

When auroras occur in the Northern Hemisphere, they are referred to as the ‘Aurora Borealis’ or ‘northern lights’. Meanwhile, those that appear in the Southern Hemisphere are known as the ‘Aurora Australis’ or ‘southern lights’.

Both types of auroras typically appear within oval-shaped zones centered around the magnetic poles. Scientists have found that northern and southern auroras often mirror each other in shape and color, happening simultaneously. These luminous displays can show a wide range of colors although green is the most frequent. Sometimes, red, yellow, violet, and blue also appear. The lights can take various forms, such as scattered glows, flowing arcs, waving curtains, or streaks that brighten the night sky with brilliant illumination.

Auroras are formed through interactions between Earth’s atmospheric gases and solar particles. The different colors in the aurora depend on which gases are involved in the collisions. The green hue, which is the most common, is caused by oxygen molecules about 60 miles above Earth. Less common red lights result from oxygen at higher altitudes, up to 200 miles. Nitrogen, on the other hand, can create blue or purplish auroras.
