Auroras, also known as Northern or Southern Lights, are natural phenomena that occur at high latitudes in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. They are caused by the interaction between charged particles from the sun and the Earth's magnetic field. While they are most commonly seen in regions of the world like Scandinavia, Canada, and Alaska, they can occasionally be seen at lower latitudes as well.
