The Aurora Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights, is a natural light display that occurs in the polar regions. It is caused by the interaction of charged particles from the sun with atoms in Earth's atmosphere.
Imagine you're at a concert and the stage lights start flashing and changing colors. The Aurora Borealis is like nature's own spectacular light show, but instead of stage lights, it's happening in the sky!
Solar Wind: A stream of charged particles emitted by the Sun that interacts with Earth's magnetic field to create auroras.
Magnetosphere: The region around Earth where its magnetic field interacts with charged particles from space.
Ionosphere: The upper part of Earth's atmosphere where ions and electrons are present due to solar radiation.
