The Northern Lights are not the sun's. They are earth's.

They are caused by the interaction of our magnetosphere with the high energy

wavelengths of sunlight. It's very complicated so much so that I don't understand

it, but God made things interesting and beautiful for us, and this is but another

example. Look at rainbows, and prisms, and colors and flowers. Beautiful, no?
