The northern (Aurora Borealis) and southern lights (Aurora Australis) are natural light displays caused by charged particles from the Sun interacting with Earth’s magnetic field. When these solar particles collide with gases like oxygen and nitrogen in Earth’s atmosphere, they produce glowing light in various colors. This interaction typically occurs near the polar regions due to the concentration of the magnetic field lines there.
