The spectacular display of lights that cold-weather tourists may observe is called the aurora borealis, or northern lights. These lights are produced by interactions between charged particles from the sun and the Earth’s magnetic field, primarily within the atmosphere, which is part of the Earth's biOSphere. The phenomenon occurs when these particles collide with gases in the Earth's atmosphere, resulting in beautiful, colorful light displays.
