The Northern Lights are actually the result of collisions between gaseous particles in the Earth's atmosphere with charged particles released from the sun's atmosphere. Variations in colour are due to the type of gas particles that are colliding.
What We See. Auroras form in rings centered over the Earth's magnetic poles. During an aurora, rings form around the North and South poles at the same time. Even near the poles, someone on Earth can only see a tiny section of the auroral oval. Look at the satellite image of the aurora borealis to the left.
