About phenomen
The northern lights is a glow of the upper layers of the atmosphere, arising from the interaction of the planet's magnetosphere with charged particles of the solar wind
Mikhail Lomonosov was the first to find the answer to the question of what it is. Conducting countless experiments, he suggested the electric nature of this phenomenon.
He filled hollow tubes with nitrogen, neon, hydrogen, argon, and other rarefied gases by passing an electric current through them. Each gas, depending on its wavelength, glowed (luminesced) differently:
In 1619 the Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei used the term "Northern Lights" and called the phenomenon in honor of Aurora, the Roman goddess of sunrise Aurora
Meaning another name Aurora Borealis
— oxygen (200-400 km)
— oxygen (up to 100 km)
— hydrogen
— nitrogen

How it arises
The reason for the appearance of the Northern Lights is the explosions on the Sun, as a result of which charged particles (corpuscles) rush into the ionosphere of the Earth
These explosions occur without warning and can release huge amounts of radioactive radiation and particles
Solar flare
Flows of gas particles and magnetic clouds from the surface of the sun rush in different directions
Sunny Wind
When the wind streams reach Earth, its magnetic field deflects a large part of them. If the storm is strong, the fields direct some of the solar plasma flows along magnetic lines toward the poles
Earth's magnetic field
When the wind reaches Earth, its magnetic field deflects most of it. If the storm is strong, the fields direct some of the solar plasma flows along magnetic lines toward the poles
Path of particles to Earth
Wind particles collide with molecules of atmospheric gases, turning neutral atoms into charged ions. This process is called ionization
Collision with the atmosphere
