An aurora is a natural light display in the sky particularly in the high latitude regions.

In northern latitude
as Arctic region, the effect is known as aurora borealis. While in the southern latitude as Antarctic region,
the effect is known as aurora australis.

The aurora phenomenon occurs when the solar wind is produced by our Sun. Solar wind is a stream of
electrons and protons which are released from the sun due to the high kinetic energy. In other way, our
planet is surrounded by a super-sized magnetic sheath which is usually called the Magnetic Field of the
Earth. Then, the streams of the solar wind particles are trapped in the Earth’s magnetic field. Some of
these particles lead to the poles of the earth at a speed that keeps growing. The collision between these
particles and atoms present in the earth’s atmosphere, it releases the energy that causes the formation
of colorful auroras at the poles of the earth, which looks like a big circle around the pole.

Now, Why Aurora is only found in the earth’s poles?? This is the answer, because the north and South
Pole magnetic field is very strong compared to other regions. So the phenomenon is more common in
the Polar Regions.

However, sometimes the Aurora can also appear at the top of the mountain in a tropical climate, but this
phenomenon is extremely rare.
