Auroras boreales: colores extraordinarios desde reacciones químicas

The video explains the phenomenon of auroras, which are stunning light displays visible at night. These occur due to the collision of solar particles with Earth's atmospheric atoms, resulting in light emission. The color of the aurora depends on the type of atom involved in the collision. The best places to observe auroras are near the poles, where Earth's magnetic field concentrates solar particles.

What is the solar wind and how does it relate to the formation of auroras?

What causes the auroras to occur in the Earth's atmosphere?

Describe the process that occurs when a solar particle collides with an atom in the atmosphere.

How does the color of the light produced by auroras depend on the type of atoms involved?

Why are the poles considered the ideal places to observe auroras?
