Solar Wind?
The solar wind is a stream of charged particles ejected from the upper atmosphere of the Sun. When the solar wind reaches Earth and interacts with its magnetic field, electric currents are formed that travel along magnetic field lines. Much like a magnet, the current is forced along the magnetic field lines down to the Polar Regions. This electrical energy is converted to light creating what is called the aurora, which is seen as a yellow-green light in the sky. The aurora usually occurs in the northern latitudes of 65°to 70°and is known as the Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights. It also occurs in the Southern Hemisphere, where it is called the Aurora Australis.
