The Northern Lights phenomenon, also known as the Aurora Borealis, is caused by the interaction between charged particles from the sun and the Earth's magnetic field. When these charged particles are accelerated towards the Earth, they collide with gases in the atmosphere, producing the beautiful light display known as the Northern Lights.
