Aurora Borealis which is also known as "Northern Lights" because it is seen mainly and clearly in the Northern Hemisphere, is a band of light of red and green, seen in the sky at night or by sun set near the North Pole.
The Aurora is caused when winds of electrically charged solar particles and flares from sun spots erupts from the suns surface and sends out billions of tons of electrified gas and radiations into the the solar system which on meeting the Earths upper atmosphere and penetrating mostly through the polar skies causes beautiful displays when the sun is below the horizon.
This green and yellow-green light and sometimes including shades of red mingling with the soft color of twilight are observed most during the winter when a long polar night is observed where the sun refuses to rise above the horizon for some time.
