What is the arora borealis?

2 Answers

Also known as Northern Lights, the Aurora Borealis is a seasonal light show caused by ions, charged particles emitted by the sun interacting with Earth’s ionosphere and magnetic field. The result is like a dynamic neon glow in the sky of the polar North. The South Pole version is Aurora Australis.
