Does Aurora borealis emit light?

Yes it does, solarly charged electrons from the sun fall towards Earth at over one million miles per hour, it takes the electrons roughly 40 hours to reach Earth. When they fall towards the magnetic poles the charged electrons collide with nitrogen and oxygen atoms in the gaseous atmosphere, the knock an atom's electron off course and when it returns to the correct orbit the atom releases a photon. Photons are light particles, so yes the aurora borealis does emit light.


What is a model of the atom?

A model of the atom is a 3-D structure of the atom's structure.

How is the Aurora borealis related to magnetism?

Auroras can be classified into:Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights)Aurora Australis (Southern Lights)Both Auroras are formed by the emissions of photons in the Earth's upper atmosphere from ionized nitrogen atoms regaining an electron, and oxygen and nitrogen atoms returning from an excited state to ground state.The Earth's magnetic field traps solar wind particles, many of which travel toward the poles where they are accelerated and funnelled towards the earth. The atmospheric atoms are ionized or excited by the collisions with these solar wind particles. The energy is lost by the emission of a photon of light, or by collision with another atom or molecule.
