The Science Behind the Aurora

The video explains the science behind auroras, starting with solar wind from the sun interacting with Earth's magnetic field. It covers how sunspots and solar cycles affect solar activity, leading to solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) that can cause auroras. Coronal holes also play a role in aurora formation. The video describes how different gases in the atmosphere create various aurora colors and how the aurora's movement is influenced by magnetic interactions.
