The Northern Lights, also known as the Aurora Lights, are a natural light display that occur in regions with high altitude. The Aurora Lights occur in the Arctic and Antarctic regions. They appear when the magnetosphere is sufficiently disturbed by solar winds.
Why they are special: When charged particles in the atmosphere collide with the gaseous particles in the atmosphere, they become electrically charged from the sun that has entered the atmosphere creating lights that vary in colour and complexity. These lights can be seen above the magnetic poles. In the Northern Hemisphere they are known as ‘Aurora Borealis’ and in the South Pole, the lights are called, ‘Aurora Australis’.
