I WONDER - What Causes The Aurora Borealis Effect?

The Northern Lights are formed when charged particles from the sun, such as electrons and protons, interact with Earth's magnetic field. As these particles travel towards Earth, they collide with the magnetic field, exciting gas particles in the atmosphere. This excitation causes the gas particles to emit light, resulting in the beautiful colors of the Northern Lights.
