The Earth's Aurora's

The video explains the Aurora Australis, a natural light display seen near the poles. It occurs when solar winds, composed of charged particles, interact with Earth's magnetic field and collide with atmospheric gases, emitting light. Different gases produce various colors, such as blue from nitrogen and red or green from oxygen. Solar storms intensify these displays.
