What are the Aurora Borealis?






Hey there,
                  Today I'm going to explain what the Aurora Borealis is!
                   
                The Aurora Borealis are dancing lights in the sky, they come in different colours such as red, yellow, green, blue, violet and pink. But pale green and pink lights are most common. They come in many forms from patches or scattered clouds of light to streamers, arcs, rippling curtains that light up the sky . You can see them above the magnetic poles of the northern and southern hemispheres , but the Aurora I will be talking about are in the northern hemisphere.

  The Aurora Borealis are actually collisions between electrically charged particles from the sun that enter the earth's atmosphere. In my next blog I will be explaining this in more detail.

The Aurora Borealis can be seen in the northern hemisphere,  I will be telling you where the best places are to see them for this year.
I will be blogging about when the best time is to see them, but they are unpredictable and it's hard to say with any scientific certainty when the best time to see them is! Technically, they're 'on' all year round.
