An aurora is a natural light display in the Earth’s sky, typically seen in high-latitude regions near the Arctic and Antarctic. It occurs when charged particles from the sun collide with gases in the Earth’s atmosphere, causing colorful lights to glow and dance. Auroras are often called the Northern or Southern Lights.
