The northern lights or aurora borealis, are magical and dramatic display of colored lights shimmering across the night sky. What makes this happen?
Even though auroras are best seen at night, they are actually caused by the sun.The sun sends us more than heat and light; it sends lots of other energy and small particles our way. The protective magnetic field around Earth shields us from most of the energy and particles, and we don’t even notice them.
But the sun doesn’t send the same amount of energy all the time. There is a constant streaming solar wind and there are also solar storms.
Do other planets get auroras?
They sure do! Auroras are not just something that happen on Earth. If a planet has an atmosphere and magnetic field, they probably have auroras. We’ve seen amazing auroras on Jupiter and Saturn.
