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.
