Explanation:

Bottom line: When charged particles from the sun strike atoms in Earth's atmosphere, they cause electrons in the atoms to move to a higher-energy state. When the electrons drop back to a lower energy state, they release a photon: light. This process creates the beautiful aurora, or northern lights.

The phenomenon happens whilst the debris collides with atoms and molecules withinside the higher atmosphere (the ionosphere), reworking kinetic electricity into seen light.

Explanation:

  • When charged debris from the sun strike atoms in Earth's atmosphere, they motivate electrons withinside the atoms to transport to a higher-electricity state.
  • When the electrons drop again to a decreased electricity state, they launch a photon: light.
  • This system creates lovely aurora or northern lighting fixtures.
  • Northern lighting fixtures also are referred to us via way of means of their clinical name, aurora borealis, and southern lighting fixtures are referred to as aurora australis.
  • The electricity launched for the duration of those collisions reasons a colorful sparkling halo across the poles and aurora.
