An aurora is a natural light display in the sky particularly in the high latitude ( Arctic and
Antarctic ) regions , caused by the collision of energetic charged particles with atoms in the high
altitude atmosphere ( thermosphere ) . The charged particles originate in the magnetosphere and
solar wind are directed by the Earth's magnetic field into the atmosphere . Most auroras occur in
a band known as the aurora zone which is typically 3 to 6 in latitudinal extent and at all local
times or longitudes .
Aurora is classified as diffuse or discrete aurora . The diffuse aurora is a featureless glow
in the sky which may not be visible to the naked eye even in a dark night and defines the extent
of the aurora zone . Discrete aurora are sharply defined feature within the diffuse aurora which
vary in brightness from just barely visible to the naked eye to bright enough to read a newspaper
at night . Discrete aurora are usually observed only in the night sky because they are not as bright
as the sunlit sky .
In northem latitudes , the effect is known as the aurora borealis ( or the northern lights ) ,
named after the Roman goddess of dawn , Aurora , and the Greek name for the north wind ,
Boreas , by Pierre Gassendi in 1621.Its souther counterpart , the aurora australis ( or the south
lights ) , has almost identical features to the aurora borealis and changes simultaneously with the
changes in the northem auroral zone and is visible from high southern latitudes in Antarctica ,
South America and Australia .
