Northen Lights

What are Northen Lights?

Northern lights, also known as aurora borealis, are an interaction between Earth's magnetic field and charged particles emitted by the sun. The sun has its own solar wind that sends out charged particles. These particles then spiral around Earth's magnetic fields. When they hit atoms in our atmosphere, electrons in those atoms are excited to a higher energy level. The electrons then settle back down to their normal energy level and, in the process, release light. We see that light as aurora. They can be different colors, depending on what atoms are being excited. Yellow and green light will be from the electrons in oxygen atoms being excited and purple, blues and reds are from nitrogen.
