Airglow: Why The Night Sky Is Really Green

The video explores the night sky's airglow, a faint green light visible in low-light conditions, distinct from auroras. Airglow results from the sun's ultraviolet radiation exciting oxygen molecules, which release energy at night. This process creates a green glow, with a red layer above it, visible from space. The video also provides resources for further learning.
