The polar lights are created in the sun. the sun emits so much energy that it superheats the gasses around it.
as the gas particles are superheated, they are blasted away at amazing speeds such as 500 kilometers per second. these particles, also known as the solar wind, are sent towards the earth. the earth is protected by the magnetic field, but some particles get though and excite the oxygen, making aurora borealis.
I hope you enjoyed learning with me about polar light! see you next time!
