How the Northern Lights Are Created 🌌✨#space #northernlights

Added: 2026-06-05

The Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) are created when charged particles from the Sun's solar wind reach Earth and are guided by the planet's magnetic field toward the polar regions, where they collide with gases in the upper atmosphere, causing oxygen and nitrogen to emit light in different colors: green and red from oxygen, and blue/purple from nitrogen.
