Select the correct statement.
1&2 only
2&3 only
1&3 only
All of the above
Only statements 1&3 are correct.
Auroras
A significant geomagnetic storm is anticipated, triggered by a strong solar storm. This occurrence has the potential to "supercharge" auroras, creating a spectacular visual display in the night sky.
Auroras are luminous phenomena that occur near the North (Aurora Borealis) and South Poles (Aurora Australis).
They are caused by the interaction of charged particles from the Sun with the Earth's magnetic field and atmosphere.
Auroras consist of gases and particles, including oxygen and nitrogen.
The collisions of these particles with the atmosphere release energy in the form of light.
The colors observed in auroras depend on the type of gas and altitude of the collisions.
Geomagnetic Storms and Auroras:
Geomagnetic storms, triggered by solar events like coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and solar flares, enhance auroral activity.
CMEs are eruptions of plasma and magnetic fields from the Sun, while solar flares are bursts of energy.
CMEs often occur alongside solar flares, which are explosions on the Sun's surface, but they are also known to occur independently.
Hence option 3rd is correct.
