Aurora, the Dazzling Beautiful Light in the Polar Sky

Auroras are the interaction of the Earth's magnetic field with particles from the Sun. This
phenomenon occurs at the magnetic poles of the Earth. Therefore, the aurora may appear
further south or north because the magnetic and geographic poles are not the same.
Remember that on Earth he has two poles.
In the case of zone, aurora appears along the Siberia, Scandinavia, Iceland, Alaska, Canada,
and Greenland in the northern hemisphere. Meanwhile, in the southern hemisphere aurora
appears mostly over Antarctica or Southern Ocean. Thus, it can be seen from Tasmania.
Auroras then form when protons and electrons from the surface of the Sun collide with the
Earth's magnetic field. When these particles enter the atmosphere, they follow magnetic field
lines. Auroras have different colors because the air is made up of nitrogen and oxygen atoms.
Oxygen atoms produce green and red light, while nitrogen produces more orange or red
colors.
Second, other planets actually have auroras. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune have also
been reported to have auroras. The difference is that Jupiter and Saturn have stronger
magnetic fields, so the auroras are much larger and more intense.
After all, the aurora may look like fire, but it doesn't feel like it. The air temperature can be
thousands of degrees Celsius, but the Northern Lights are not that hot. This is because when
the aurora appears, the air density is very low at 96 kilometers. It measures below zero.
