Aurora Explained: How They Form & Why They Dance in the Sky

If you've ever seen the Northern Lights, also known as Aurora Borealis, you know how mesmerizing they can be. But have you ever wondered what causes this stunning natural phenomenon and how it works? In this video, we'll dive into the science behind auroras and explore how they form in the Earth's atmosphere.
We'll start by explaining the source of auroras, which is the solar wind coming from the Sun. This stream of charged particles interacts with the Earth's magnetic field and causes colorful displays of light in the upper atmosphere. We'll also explore the role of the different types of gases in the atmosphere that contribute to the colors we see in the auroras.
To help you better understand the physics behind auroras, we'll use animations and graphics to visualize the complex processes involved. You'll learn about the different types of auroras, including the Northern and Southern Lights, and discover how their behavior is affected by various factors such as solar activity and the Earth's magnetic field.
Whether you're a science enthusiast, an amateur photographer, or simply curious about the natural world, this video is for you. Join us as we unravel the mystery of auroras and explore the fascinating science behind this awe-inspiring phenomenon.

Incredible teacher we do need more of it...

[@hemrajue3434]

The best teacher not only explains things in a better way but set goals for his students.

[@francistwahirwa5810]

You are the best science teacher that there's.

[@MathAndScience]

Thank you so much!

[@seanbroyles7015]

Blown away by the quality of your channel. Please keep it up.

[@MathAndScience]

Thanks, will do!

[@bernardbruce9986]

Wow sir this is really interesting keep it up

[@tsmith4343]

Absolutely wonderful!!! And, yes, please do one on plasma propulsion. Thanks.

[@MathAndScience]

Will do! Thank you!

[@TinFoot]

Going to Iceland to see the Aurora. Now I know why it occurs. Thank you.

[@MathAndScience]

That’s so awesome.

[@samirayadgar8197]

I appreciate your approach on this subject, making it easy to understand.

[@sergiomejia250]

I shared your video with my children and grandkids, all of them liked, thank you

[@MathAndScience]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@feelingzhakkaas]

Absolutely wonderful explanation

[@sergiomejia250]

Thank you for that important information, makes me remember my school days, blessings

[@MathAndScience]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@azmard4865]

This is just amazing. Thank you Sir Jason ^^

[@atthescreen]

Thank you very much. Great lesson. Would be interested in the iron propulsion.

[@yasirnori6643]

That was an incredible video. I watched this 3 times. But could please make a video about electromagnetic radiation. I mean talk about magnetic fields electric fields? How do they effect each other? How they create light? And everything please make a very long a detailed video about them because it is very complicated topic for a lot of people including me.

[@Elo-hv3fw]

Thank you Herr Einstein for teaching our teachers.

[@ayattimahdi5276]

Thank you so much for this fabulous video, I understood a lot of new things !

[@soorinc1603]

Thank you, wonderful explanation.

[@mariaGonzalez-gd5rv]

Fabulous explanation!!!!

[@felixcat4346]

Thanks for a great post

[@MathAndScience]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@mj1653]

Great video as always. Would love to see a lesson on ion propulsion and the different types of ion engines!

[@MathAndScience]

Great suggestion!

[@michellalonde137]

thanks again...

[@afshanareeb7939]

Amazing teacher

[@DarylChamberlainJr]

I learned a lot this morning..Thank you so much for sharing your knowlege...

[@MathAndScience]

So nice of you

[@bernardbruce9986]

I've always loved science but with your videos it has given me more hope on doing science when I get to the senior high level

[@MathAndScience]

Yes!! You go!

[@HZ-sc1de]

Thank you! Wonderful as always. Have you ever thought about making videos for small kids about physics around us? Or even better - publishing a book. You explain difficult concepts so crearly and in depth like no one I came across.

[@drumtwo4seven]

Nice 👍

[@ajithkg8197]

Wonderful... Thanks and pls do one about coriolis effect

[@MathAndScience]

Great suggestion!

[@feelingzhakkaas]

Thanks

[@reu.mathematicsacademy8566]

This is a nice presentation 😊

[@MathAndScience]

Thank you! 😃

[@somjeetbasumallik3481]

Jason do you mean Green light sun plasma is most in sync with atomic nitrogen and oxygen in space ? And charge confinements are used in Hydrogen fueled rockets ?

[@planmet]

What stops the electrons from entering the south pole and passing up the core of Earth to the north pole?

[@sumanpandey1324]

Make a video on latitude and longitude

[@sumanpandey1324]

Please explain mathematics behind latitude and lagitude

[@delstanley1349]

What eventually happens to the charged particles? It seems the process wouldn't last indefinitely since the blast of the solar wind (force and/or velocity?)would cease even though the magnetic field might remain steady. Do the charged particles of protons (+) and electrons (-) pair up and eventually become hydrogen and go off into space, or do they stay near earth as ions forever trapped in the mag field? I assume there must be some "steady state" about the earth in between solar flares and that the earth "resets," after X cycles of these particles yo-yo-ing between poles and eventually "settles down." In other words how does the earth get back to "normal" after a solar blast; the example of a blue aurora on Jupiter is not always seen on photos, so it seems it is just a temp thing.

[@MusicalGeniusBar]

Can you make a video on how snow is created and why each snowflake is different, the actual science behind it. Thank you

[@MathAndScience]

Wow neat idea

[@waelfadlallah8939]

Sir, you just invented MRI 😊 or at least gave a pleasant explanation of how it works!

[@hemrajue3434]

I think the aurora phenomenon is all around the earth but visible only at the poles due to concentrated mag field.

Expanding electrons do it all. Start at start.” The Final Theory: Rethinking Our Scientific Legacy “, Mark McCutcheon.

[@manipulativer]

Nikola Tesla apart from "claiming" the Sun is charged to bilion of volts he went and supposedly explained that the Earth has a 2 million volts differential between the dark side and the sunny side and the migration of the electric field is what causes the aurora.
