When it rains and shines at the same time, a beautiful rainbow usually appears to color the sky. But there is another phenomenon, more intense, that fills the sky with color and impresses the eyes of the beholder, the northern and southern aurora. I'll tell you how this works…
Both happen because of solar winds, a phenomenon that, as the name implies, starts with the Sun. They are strong explosions, which throw particles with an electrical charge out of the solar atmosphere. These particles travel in all directions, including towards the Earth, at speeds above a million kilometers per hour! Then, when they pass through the outermost layer of our atmosphere, the ionosphere, they collide with oxygen and nitrogen atoms present there. Are you following? So let's move on!
You may have heard that the Earth works like a giant magnet. It is true. Its poles – that is, the extreme north and the extreme south of our planet – attract these particles from the winds solar cells that, as we have seen, collide with atoms in our atmosphere, releasing energy in the form of green light and red. The green hue is generated by the collision of particles that came from the Sun with oxygen molecules, while the red one is produced by the collision with nitrogen atoms.
Now it's easier to understand that, unlike the rainbow – a phenomenon that can occur anywhere on Earth – auroras do not happen anywhere. They only occur at the poles of our planet and in regions close to them, because of the attraction story we saw in the previous paragraph.
Depending on the pole where it forms, the aurora has a different name. In Greenland, northern Canada and Alaska, it is called boreal. In Antarctica, southern Australia and New Zealand, it is known as the aurora australis.
I would love to witness such a dawn, wouldn't you?
