Aurora<br />
Borealis<br />
Electricity and magnetism both<br />
play a part in this spectacularly<br />
beautiful natural phenomenon.<br />
Aurora borealis is caused by<br />
solar wind, electrically charged<br />
particles ejected from the sun.<br />
On reaching the earth, the<br />
particles collide with oxygen<br />
atoms and nitrogen molecules<br />
in the earth’s atmosphere,<br />
causing them to glow in blurred<br />
patterns of green, purple,<br />
yellow and blue, just as the<br />
electricity in a fl uorescent lamp<br />
makes the gas glow inside.<br />
Auroras are especially visible in<br />
the polar region, as in other<br />
latitudes the earth’s magnetic<br />
fi eld defl ects the particles.<br />
Aurora borealis is named after<br />
the Roman goddess of the<br />
dawn, Aurora, and the Greek<br />
god of the north wind, Boreas.<br />
