Aurora Borealis

The Aurora Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights, is a natural light display predominantly seen in high-latitude regions around the Arctic and Antarctic. It occurs when charged particles from the sun, known as solar winds, interact with the Earth’s magnetic field and atmospheric gases. This interaction excites the gases in the atmosphere, causing them to emit light in various colors, primarily green, pink, red, yellow, blue, and violet. The phenomenon typically manifests as dynamic, wave-like patterns or curtains of light dancing across the night sky. The Aurora Borealis is most commonly observed in countries such as Norway, Sweden, Finland, Canada, and Alaska, especially during the winter months when nights are longest.
