Exploring the Wonders of Aurora

The video explores auroras, natural light displays in the sky, often seen near Earth's poles. Auroras are caused by the interaction of solar wind with Earth's magnetosphere, resulting in colorful lights. The sun's energy, through nuclear fission, creates solar wind, which distorts Earth's magnetic fields, leading to auroras. The colors of auroras come from charged particles interacting with atmospheric gases. Auroras serve as a reminder of Earth's protective magnetic layer against solar emissions.
