The northern lights, or aurora borealis, in Alaska are caused by the interaction between charged particles from the sun and the Earth's magnetic field. When solar wind carries these charged particles towards Earth, they collide with gases in the Earth's atmosphere, primarily oxygen and nitrogen. This collision releases energy in the form of light, creating the stunning displays of color typically seen in the polar regions. The phenomenon is most visible near the magnetic poles, where the magnetic field lines converge.
