The aurora borealis is an amazing natural phenomenon that is best seen in places near the Earth’s polar regions. This phenomenon occurs due to the collision of particles in the solar wind and gases in the atmosphere.
When the aurora occurs, light bands appear in the sky that continuously move and change, looking like colored silk strips overhead.
The aurora borealis that occurs in the Northern Hemisphere is called the aurora borealis, or northern lights, and in the Southern Hemisphere it is called the southern lights.
