What is aurora ? It is a mysterious and un predictable display of light mostly in the night sky .
The name aurora come from roman Goddes of Dawn .
Aurora borealis - Northern light
Aurora australis – Southern light

What causes an aurora ?
The sun energy is carried towards the earth in the solar wind ,a stream of electricity charged particles (mostly protons and electrons) flowing out from the sun in all direction .
When this energy collide with earth’s magnetosphere(The region of space controlled by earth magnetic field) the magnetosphere losses its equiliberium .

What causes an aurora ? To become stable again the excess
energy is released suddenly, with much of energy going into accl. Of electron .
The electron which come from earth magnetosphere transfer their energy to oxygen and nitrogen atoms and molecules making them excited .
As the gas returns to their normal state , they emit photons, small burst of energy in the form of light and aurora is formed .
At altitudes of 100-400Km from earth surface .

Why do aurora come in different colours ?
High energy electron - oxygen - Green colour High energy electron - oxygen - Red colourNitrogrn generally gives of blue colour

Where can you see aurora ?
Aurora usually occur in the ring shaped areas about 4,000Km in dia. around the magnetic poles of earth .
Usually occur in north and south poles because electrons are guided towards poles by earth magnetic field .
Aurora Borealis – North Aurora
Aurora Australis – South Aurora

Do other planets have Aurora ? Jupiter,Saturn,Uranus – Observed
mercury , Venus, Mars – Not Observed
Because
Mercury do not have atm.
Venus and Mars do not have global magnetosphere

Why do we care about aurora ? The rapidly changing current can cause unwanted electric currents to flow through the long communication lines producing didruption in communication .
Radio signals are refracted
Ionosphere (the upper atm. ) become rippled like a cardboard
Electron accelerating to high energies in the tail of magnetosphere can raise havoc (wide spread disruption) with satellites , damaging electronics and creating false commands .
