Question
Which part of the earth is suitable to witness the natural phenomena of dynamic light displays called ‘aurora’?
Explanation
Auroras occur when solar wind charged particles interact with Earth's magnetosphere, funneling toward magnetic poles. Near Arctic and Antarctic, particles excite atmospheric oxygen and nitrogen, producing dynamic green, pink and violet light displays called aurora borealis and australis.
