Aurora🌌

No matter how strange it may sound, but it is the Sun that is the main "culprit" of the aurora.

High-speed solar wind particles collide with atoms in the Earth's upper atmosphere. The effect is observed at high latitudes.

And the color depends on which particle and at what height the plasma from the Sun collides. If with oxygen at an altitude of 100 km - green. Above 300 km - red. Nitrogen gives blue and bright red, respectively.

The Earth's magnetic field deflects the particles of the solar wind, and the only way for them to get inside at least somehow is the Earth's poles. That is why not everywhere on Earth there is aurora.

But a strong ejection of particles from the Sun will provoke an increased flow and auroras in such cases also appear where it cannot be. This is because the magnetic field cannot deflect the "strong" particles and they pass in and create this phenomenon.

You can see the aurora in Canada, Norway, Greenland, Finland, and of course the North Pole.

I myself have never seen this phenomenon, probably now I have a little dream😌
