Aurora phenomenon or aurora borealis

The Aurora phenomenon is a magical natural phenomenon that occurs in the skies of polar regions on Earth. This phenomenon forms when positively charged solar particles streaming from the Sun interact with molecules in the Earth's atmosphere.


This reaction causes the release of colored light energy, usually in different colors between green, yellow, red, purple and pink.


The Aurora phenomenon can be seen in the polar regions on Earth, which are the North Pole (North Pole) and Antarctica (South Pole). In the Arctic, the aurora borealis is known as Aurora Borealis, while in Antarctica, it is known as Aurora Australis.


Aurora can be seen in the spring and fall, when the nights are longer, in areas near the poles. In Canada, Norway , Sweden, Iceland, and arctic regions of the United States such as Alaska, the aurora borealis can commonly be seen.


In winter, the chance of seeing Aurora increases in polar regions, such as Iceland, Sweden and Finland, where they have long nights. However, the timing and strength of the aurora depend on solar activity, so display times and visible colors can change on a daily and seasonal basis.
