The Northern Lights phenomenon, also known as Aurora Borealis, is caused by solar particles colliding with gases in Earth's atmosphere. When charged particles from the sun enter the Earth's atmosphere, they interact with gases such as oxygen and nitrogen, creating the beautiful light display known as the Northern Lights.
