Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The aurora is caused by the interaction of charged particles from the sun with the Earth's magnetic field. The magnetic field is strongest at the poles, so the aurora is most commonly seen in the northern and southern polar regions. Maine is located closer to the North Pole than Washington state, so the aurora is more likely to be seen in Maine.
