The Northern Lights, also known as the Aurora Borealis, is a natural light display predominantly seen in high-latitude regions around the Arctic. This phenomenon occurs when charged particles from the sun interact with the Earth’s magnetic field and atmosphere. As these particles collide with gases such as oxygen and nitrogen, they emit light, creating vibrant colors typically in shades of green, pink, red, yellow, blue, and violet. The resulting displays can take the form of arcs, waves, or curtains of light dancing across the night sky. The Northern Lights are most commonly visible in countries such as Norway, Sweden, Finland, Canada, and Alaska during the winter months when the nights are longest and darkest. This breathtaking celestial spectacle is not only a visual wonder but also an area of scientific study related to space weather and atmospheric physics.
