Space Weather and Earth's Aurora

Aurora are colorful lights in the night time sky primarily appearing in Earth's polar regions. But what causes them? The culprit behind aurora is our own Sun and the solar plasma that is ejected during a magnetic event like a flare or a coronal mass ejection. This plasma travels outward along with the solar wind and when it encounters Earth's magnetic field, it travels down the field lines that connect at the poles. Atoms in the plasma interacts with atoms in Earth's upper atmosphere. This reaction produces the colorful lights we call aurora.

[@TrafficDE]

Just saw auroras over south germany after this G4 solar storm, absolutely stunning and unexpected to see them so far away from the north pole/nordic countries.

[@MidvightMirage]

Also crazy how it literally looks like it's from every direction. At least my dad told me that it's from every (well except one because one part of our plot has a building that is entirely covering one direction and there was nothing, also this was friday as well)

[@badgamer6977]

Such a large storm that it has reach that far and into the uk, if it's such a large storm is that abnormal behaviour for our sun?

[@TrafficDE]

@@badgamer6977 No it's completely normal. The sun is pretty active right now due to it's solar cycle. The last solar storm this size that hit earth was in 2003. (2003 Halloween Solar Storms) No need to worry. :)

[@chuychuy0729]

This explanation in the way of animation is what I'm looking for!! Great job!

[@maple1255]

The best explanation of how auroras come to be, stemming from the 'solar storms' of the sun, very well done!

[@raycar1165]

Look up " suspicious observers " they may have a better explanation

[@ronusa1976]

kzbin.infovideos get your geek on cutting edge knowledge. The SAFIRE Project - 2017 - 2018 kzbin.info/www/bejne/epa5la2Jn7WrZsk what if our sun works differently than what this video show?

[@eliyhwhjah-man6052]

"What if...." it does. The internal solar structure theory expressed in this video is around a century old. Modern perspectives are necessary to keep from saying foolish things like "invisible shield" & "magnetic rubberband" when describing the geomagnetosphere.

[@dpterminusreal]

​@@raycar1165 amazing how you almost look like a bot, except the fact that you actually have different situational replies that prove you are in fact someone wasting their time at a screen doing nothing to contribute to society which is even more sad

How does earth regen its magnetic field

[@kylerenglish5698]

That's not how magnetic fields work. The field is generated by the rotational energy/internal dynamo of the Earth's molten iron.

[@mxb2432]

Like Kyle said, as long as Earth's core is active, it will generate a magnetic field. But I'm curious about one thing.. Like the sun, Earth's magnetic poles flip once in a while. ("These reversals are random with no apparent periodicity to their occurrence. They can happen as often as every 10 thousand years or so and as infrequently as every 50 million years or more. The last reversal was about 780,000 years ago. ) Reversals are not instantaneous; they happen over a period of hundreds to thousands of years, though recent research indicates that at least one reversal could have taken place over a period of one year." So I truly wonder what will happen when the Earth's poles will be flipping and we get hit by a serious solar storm. 😯

The video is charming. The rubber band concept is right but not considered sun's differential rotation and planets rotation (vasyliunas cycle coverage). If the video includes these two things, it helps us to get more information.
