1.Read the following word and make notes in appropriate formate :
The northern light are actually the result of collisions between gaseous particles in the erath's atmosphere with charged particles released from the sun's atmosphere. Auroral display appear in many colour although pale green and pink ate the most common. Shades of red, yellow, green, blue, and violet have been reported. The light appear in many forms from patches or scattered cloud of light to streamers, arcs, rippling curtains or shooting rays that light up the sky with an eerie glow. The most common auroral colour, a pale yellowish-green, is produced by oxygen molecules located about 60 miles above the earth. Rare, all-red auroras are produced by high-altitude oxygen, at highest of up to 200 miles. Nitrogen produces blue or purplish-red aurora.
The connection between the northern light and sunspot activity has been suspected since about 1880. Thanks to research conducted since 1950's, we now know that electrons and protons from the sun and blown towards the earth on the 'solar wind'. The temperature above the surface of the sun is millions of degree Celsius. At this temperature, collisions between gas molecules are frequent and explosive. Free electrons and protons are thrown from the sun's atmosphere by the rotation of the sun and escaped through holes in the magnetic field. Blown towards the earth by the solar wind, the charged particles are largely deflected by the earth's magnetic field. However, the earth's magnetic field is weaker at either pole and therefore some particles enter the earth's atmosphere and collide with gas particle. These collision emit light that we perceive as the dancing lights of the north (and the south).
Northern lights can be seen in the northern or southern hemisphere, in an irregularly shaped oval centred over each magnetic pole. The lights are known as 'Aurora borealis' in the north and 'Aurora austrails' in the south. Scientists have learned that in most instances northern and southern auroras are mirror-like images that occur at the same time, with similar shapes and colour.
Winter in the north is generally a good season to view lights. The long periods of darkness and the frequency of clear nights provide many good opportunities to watch the auroral displays. Usually the best time of night (on clear night) to watch for auroral display is local midnight.
Many cultural group have legends about the lights. In medieval times, the occurrence of auroral displays were seen as harbingers of war or famine. The Maori of New Zealand shared a belief with many northern people of Europe and north America that the lights were reflections from torches or campfires. The Menominee Indian of Wisconsin believed that the lights indicated the location of manabai'wok (giant) who were the spirits of great hunters and fisherman. The Inuit of Alaska believed that the light were the spirit of the animals they hunted: the seal, salmon, deer and beluga whales. Other aboriginal peoples believed that the lights were the spirits of their people.
