AI overview

An aurora is a natural light display in Earth's upper atmosphere created when charged particles from the Sun collide with oxygen and nitrogen atoms, causing them to emit colorful light such as green, red, and purple. These spectacular displays, known as northern lights in the Arctic and southern lights in the Antarctic, appear as dynamic patterns of radiant light and are most commonly seen in high-latitude regions.

Aurora polar (o aurora polaris) es un fenómeno en forma de luminiscencia que se presenta en el cielo nocturno, generalmente en zonas polares, aunque puede aparecer en otras zonas del mundo durante breves períodos. En el hemisferio sur es conocida como aurora austral y en el hemisferio norte como aurora boreal (de Aurora, la diosa romana del amanecer, la palabra latina Auster, que significa sur, y la palabra griega Bóreas, que significa norte).
