NORTHERN LIGHTS
People who live in the far north or south can see an amazing sight at night. The sky will
sometimes appear to be glowing with an incredible light. This light does not come from
the stars in the night sky. Instead, it comes from our own star, the Sun. Very fast particles
called electrons come to the Earth in a steady stream from the Sun. When they hit the
Earth’s magnectic field, they are pushed away towards the North and South Poles. As
they enter the atmosphere at these two points, they hit nitrogen molecules. These nitrogen
molecules absorb the energy, and then release it in the form of light. The result is an
amazing glow of light in the night sky. We call this faint, shimmering light an ‘aurora’.
More people live near the North Pole than the South Pole. That’s why northern auroras
are called ‘the Northern Lights’.
