    Aurora

    The document discusses auroras, or northern lights. It explains that auroras are visible light displays in polar regions caused by collisions between charged particles from the solar wind and gases in Earth's atmosphere. The solar wind originates from the sun's surface as a stream of electrically charged ions. When it reaches Earth's magnetic field, some ions become trapped in ring-shaped areas around the magnetic poles, where they collide with atmospheric gases and release energy, causing the colorful lights of the aurora. Most auroras occur 97-1,000 kilometers above the Earth's surface.

    AURORA
    An aurora is a natural light display that shimmers in the sky. Colorful blue, red, yellow,
    green, and orange lights shift gently and change shape like softly blowing curtains. Auroras
    are only visible at night, and usually, only appear in lower polar regions.

    Auroras are visible almost every night near the Arctic and Antarctic Circles, which are about
    66.5 degrees north and south of the Equator. In the north, the display is called aurora borealis,
    or northern lights. In the south, it is called aurora australis, or southern lights.

    Auroras and the Solar Wind

    The activity that creates auroras begins on the sun. The sun is a ball of superhot gases made
    up of electrically charged particles called ions. The ions, which continuously stream from the
    sun’s surface, are called the solar wind.

    As solar wind approaches the Earth, it meets the Earth’s magnetic field. Without this
    magnetic field protecting the planet, the solar wind would blow away Earth’s fragile
    atmosphere, preventing all life. Most of the solar wind is blocked by the magnetosphere, and
    the ions, forced around the planet, continue to travel farther into the solar system.

    Although most of the solar wind is blocked by the magnetosphere, some of the ions become
    briefly trapped in ring-shaped holding areas around the planet. These areas, in a region of the
    atmosphere called the ionosphere, are centered around the Earth’s geomagnetic poles. The
    geomagnetic poles mark the tilted axis of the Earth’s magnetic field. They lie about 1,300
    kilometers (800 miles) from the geographic poles but are slowly moving.

    In the ionosphere, the ions of the solar wind collide with atoms of oxygen and nitrogen from
    the Earth’s atmosphere. The energy released during these collisions causes a colorful glowing
    halo around the poles an aurora. Most auroras happen about 97-1,000 kilometers (60-620
    miles) above the Earth’s surface.

    AURORA
    Aurora adalah tampilan cahaya alami yang berkilau di langit. Lampu warna-warni biru,
    merah, kuning, hijau, dan oranye bergeser dengan lembut dan berubah bentuk seperti gorden
    yang tertiup lembut. Aurora hanya terlihat di malam hari, dan biasanya, hanya muncul di
    daerah kutub yang lebih rendah.

    Aurora terlihat hampir setiap malam di dekat lingkaran arktik dan Antartika, yaitu sekitar
    66,5 derajat utara dan selatan Khatulistiwa. Di utara, tampilan ini disebut aurora borealis,
    atau lampu utara. Di selatan, itu disebut aurora australis, atau lampu selatan.

    Auroras dan Angin Matahari

    Aktivitas yang menciptakan aurora dimulai dari sinar matahari. Matahari adalah bola gas
    super panas yang terdiri dari partikel bermuatan listrik yang disebut ion. Ion-ion yang terus
    menerus mengalir dari permukaan matahari, disebut angin matahari.

    Saat angin matahari mendekati bumi, ia memenuhi medan magnet bumi. Tanpa medan
    magnet yang melindungi planet ini, angin matahari akan menerbangkan atmosfer bumi yang
    rapuh, mencegah semua kehidupan. Sebagian besar angin matahari terhalang oleh
    magnetosfer, dan ion-ion, yang dipaksa mengelilingi planet ini, terus bergerak lebih jauh ke
    tata surya.

    Meskipun sebagian besar angin matahari terhalang oleh magnetosfer, beberapa ion menjadi
    terperangkap sebentar di daerah penampungan berbentuk cincin di sekitar planet. Daerah-
    daerah ini, di wilayah atmosfer yang disebut ionosfer, berpusat di sekitar kutub geomagnetik
    Bumi. Kutub geomagnetik menandai sumbu kemiringan medan magnet bumi. Mereka
    terletak sekitar 1.300 kilometer (800 mil) dari kutub geografis tetapi bergerak perlahan.

    Di ionosfer, ion angin matahari bertabrakan dengan atom oksigen dan nitrogen dari atmosfer
    bumi. Energi yang dilepaskan selama tabrakan ini menyebabkan lingkaran cahaya berwarna-
    warni di sekitar kutub aurora. Sebagian besar aurora terjadi sekitar 97-1.000 kilometer (60-
    620 mil) di atas permukaan bumi.
