The Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights, specifically occurs on Earth due to the interaction of solar wind with the planet's magnetic field and atmosphere. The Moon, however, lacks a substantial atmosphere and magnetic field, which means it does not experience auroras in the same way. Instead, the Moon can exhibit phenomena such as soft X-ray emissions and surface illumination due to solar wind interaction, but these are not true auroras. Thus, while the Moon can show effects from solar activity, it does not produce auroras like those seen on Earth.
