Consider the following statements
Statement-I: Auroras are caused by the interaction between charged particles from the Sun's solar winds and the Earth's magnetosphere.
Statement-II: Auroras can be witnessed only in the extreme northern or southern latitudes.
Select the correct answer using the codes given below:
Both Statement-I and Statement-II are correct and Statement-II is the correct explanation for Statement-I
Both Statement-I and Statement-II are correct and Statement-II is not the correct explanation for Statement-I
Statement-I is correct but Statement-II is incorrect
Statement-I is incorrect but Statement- II is correct
Recently Indian Astronomers captured the auroras through all-sky cameras positioned around the Indian Astronomical Observatory (IAO) in Hanle, Ladakh.
Aurora are bright and colourful lights, formed due to an active interaction in Space between charged solar winds and the Earth’s magnetosphere.
Solar winds are ejections of charged particles from the Sun’s atmosphere, mostly composed of protons and electrons.
Auroras are caused by the interaction between charged particles from the Sun's solar winds and the Earth's magnetosphere.
The collisions produce light, “much like how electrons flowing through gas in a neon light collide with neon and other gasses to produce different coloured light bulbs.
Auroras or polar lights are usually witnessed only in the extreme northern (Aurora Borealis) or southern (Aurora Australis) latitudes near the poles.
However, they were recently spotted from the low-latitude region of Ladakh in India due to heightened solar activity.
Hence option 3rd is correct.
