Answer:
aurora
Explanation:
- Earth's magnetic field draws charged particles from the sun toward the poles, where the particles collide with atoms in Earth's atmosphere. Because there are more collisions near the poles, more light is ultimately emitted, producing a brighter aurora more often.
- The aurora is also one of nature's most spectacular light shows. it is also caused by the interaction between Earth's magnetic field and charged particles shot out from the sun, dissipating them before they cause damage
