 what is aurora?

Aurora or polar light is a natural phenomenon that produces

a glowing light beam dancing in the night sky in the
ionosphere layer of a planet as a result of the interaction
between the planet's magnetic field and the charged particles
emitted by the Sun (solar wind). This phenomenon can only be
enjoyed in countries far from the equator, one of the
countries whose natural phenomena is good to see is New
Zealand.
 the kinds of Auror

On Earth, auroras occur in the area around their North

and South magnetic Pole. The aurora in the south polar
sky is called the Aurora Australis, while the Aurora in the
north pole of the sky is called the Aurora Borealis.
how do Auroras
occur?
Auroras are luminous atmospheric phenomena in the night sky
that occur most frequently in high latitudes of both hemispheres.
They are categorized specifically according to their location.
Auroras in the Northern Hemisphere are called the northern lights
(aurora borealis), and in the Southern Hemisphere, auroras are
called the southern lights (aurora australis).

Auroras are caused by the sun, but they are not

sunlight. In addition to light, the sun also sends out
electrically charged particles stream of electrons
and protons, called the solar wind. This stream of
particles travels from the sun towards the Earth at
high speed.
 The earth is surrounded by a magnetic field,
consisting of north and south magnetic poles.
These magnetic poles are not the same as the
North and South poles. As the charged particles
in the solar wind penetrate the earth's
magnetosphere and enter the lower Van Allen
radiation belt, the earth magnetic field deflects
it to the magnetic poles. Then they collide with
gas molecules, mostly oxygen and nitrogen, in
the atmosphere. These collisions cause them to
emit visible light at various wavelengths,
creating the colors of the aurora. Because the
light of auroras is not strong enough, they are
generally only visible at night.
