Tiny charged particles from the sun travel toward Earth in the solar wind. The Earth's magnetic field and atmosphere create auroras when these particles collide with atmospheric gases, with brightness tied to the sun's 11 year magnetic cycle.
The piece explains two key ingredients for auroras: Earth’s magnetic field and the Sun’s magnetic influence. It describes the Earth’s liquid iron core generating a magnetic field, how the field forms a protective bubble, and how solar storms trigger auroras seen from space and on Earth. It notes other planets also have similar displays.
