The Aurora borealis is caused by the what?
The Aurora borealis, also known as the Northern Lights, is caused by the interaction between charged particles from the sun and the Earth's magnetic field. When these particles collide with gases in the Earth's atmosphere, such as oxygen and nitrogen, they produce the colorful light display that we see in the sky.

Where can the Aurora Borealis be found?
The aurora is a glow observed in the night sky, usually in the polar zone. For this reason some scientists call it a "polar aurora" (or "aurora polaris"). In northern latitudes, it is known as "aurora borealis" which is Latin for "northern dawn" since in Europe especially, it often appears as a reddish glow on the northern horizon as if the sun were rising from an unusual direction. The aurora borealis is also called the "northern lights". The aurora borealis most often occurs from September to October and March to April. Its southern counterpart, "aurora australis", has similar properties. The cause of the aurora is charged particles from the solar wind, accelerated by the Earth's magnetic field, colliding with atoms in the upper atmosphere causing them to glow as they release their surplus energy.
