Aurora Borealis

Page 3 of 7 G6- ENGLISH

Auroras, often called Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) and Southern Lights (Aurora
Australis), are spectacular light displays most commonly viewed in the polar regions. Auroras
occur because of interactions between Earths magnetic field and solar winds. The solar wind
is a stream of charged particles emitted from the suns corona that travels far into space at
speeds of up to 400 miles per second. Charged particles within the solar winds collide with
atmospheric atoms and molecules when they reach Earths magnetic field. The collisions
cause quantum leaps, which means the kinetic energy within the electrons of the particles are
converted to light. The collisions of different particles result in different colored lights. Atomic
oxygen produces red and green lights, nitrogen produces pink, blue, or violet light, helium
produces purple lights and neon produces rippled orange light. Auroras come in a vast array
of shapes and forms such as arcs, swirls, curtains and glowing shapes. They often appear
to be moving.
Auroras often occur as a result of a geomagnetic storm. A geomagnetic storm is the
temporary disturbance of the Earths magnetic field as a result of an event in space such as a
solar flare or coronal mass ejection (the ejection of charged particles form the suns corona).
In noteworthy geomagnetic storms, Auroras can be seen well south (or north) of where they
usually occur. The famous Great Geomagnetic Storms of 1859 produced what witnesses call
the most spectacular auroras ever seen. Such auroras were seen throughout the United
States, Japan, and Australia. The event lasted for almost a week.
