Auroras occur primarily in the thermosphere, which is part of the Earth's atmosphere located about 80 to 600 kilometers (50 to 370 miles) above the surface. This phenomenon is caused by the interaction of charged particles from the solar wind with the Earth's magnetic field, resulting in stunning displays of light, typically seen near the polar regions. The most common types are the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) and Aurora Australis (Southern Lights).
