Northern Lights colors, explained simply. Aurora color depends on two things: What gas the sun hits. How high it happens above Earth. Green is the most common. It happens when solar energy hits oxygen lower in the atmosphere, roughly 60–120 miles high. There is more air at this level, which is why green aurora shows up so often. Purple usually means movement. It forms when solar energy hits nitrogen and often appears along the edges of green aurora or during fast, active nights. Red is rare. Red

The color of the aurora is determined by the altitude in which it appears. Different atmosphere compounds (such as Nitrogen and Oxygen) are found at different altitudes. When charged particles from the Sun enter our atmosphere, they interact with those compounds, and the aurora is the visible result. Depending on which compounds are being excited by the

👉✨ Why Do Auroras Glow in Different Colors? ✨ A simple guide to the magic of the Northern Lights Auroras are born when energy from the Sun reaches Earth. Streams of charged particles, carried by the solar wind, collide with Earth’s magnetic field. These particles are funneled toward the polar regions, where they slam into gases high in the atmosphere. Each collision releases energy in the form of light—this is what creates the shimmering aurora. The color of an aurora depends on two things: whi
