How is this made?
There are special conditions for the Northern Lights to form. Such light is produced when the sun explodes, showing its heat. These are called solar flares. The charged particles emanating from these explosions spread rapidly in space. Collide with the Earth’s magnetic field. When they come towards our atmosphere and collide with the gases present in it, energy is released and it is visible in the form of bright lights in the sky.

When does it become which color?
Now the question arises that when which color is formed? When these particles collide with the oxygen present in the atmosphere, green light is produced. When these particles collide with the oxygen present at altitude, red light is produced. Similarly, when they collide with nitrogen present in the atmosphere, blue or purple light is produced. This is the reason why different types of colors are shown due to the different types of gases present in the atmosphere. This is called Northern Lights.
When is it visible?
