Explaining How An Aurora Is Created
MessageToEagle.com – Most of us enjoy watching the beautiful lights in the night sky known as aurora. These wonderful lights appear primarily over the Polar Regions. But what exactly causes the aurora?
The reason why we can admire these colorful lights is our Sun and the solar plasma that is ejected during a magnetic event like a flare or a coronal mass ejection.

This plasma travels outward along with the solar wind and when it encounters Earth’s magnetic field, it travels down the field lines that connect at the poles.
Atoms in the plasma interact with atoms in Earth’s upper atmosphere. This reaction produces the colorful lights we call aurora.
