Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Auroras occur about 130 km above Earth's surface near the polar regions when energy in the solar wind guided by Earth's magnetic field excites gases in the upper atmosphere. The phenomenon described in the question is characteristic of auroras, which occur in the polar regions of Earth's upper atmosphere when particles from the solar wind interact with gases in the atmosphere. Coronas, flares, and coronal holes are all associated with the sun, and nuclear fission is a process of nuclear energy production, none of which are related to the described phenomenon.
