Северное сияние, также известное как Аврора, это феномен наблюдаемого свечения в небесах близ полярных регионов. Оно возникает благодаря взаимодействию солнечных частиц, в основном электронов и протонов, с атмосферой Земли. Северное сияние обычно наблюдается в северных широтах и называется “северным” сиянием, в то время как аналогичный феномен, наблюдаемый в южном полушарии, называется “южным” сиянием или aurora australis.
The process of formation of the northern lights in Batumi
The process of formation of the northern lights is associated with the Earth's magnetosphere and solar wind. The solar wind carries electrically charged particles that, when they interact with the Earth's magnetic field, are directed near the poles. Here, electrons and protons in the atmosphere collide with and excite atoms and molecules, mainly oxygen and nitrogen.

When excited atoms and molecules return to lower energy states, they emit light. This light typically comes in different colors, including green, red, blue and purple, depending on the types of atoms and molecules involved. These glows create beautiful and mystical light effects in the sky that can be seen during the night in the polar regions.
The Northern Lights are one of the most impressive natural phenomena on our planet and attract many tourists and photographers from all over the world to see this amazing spectacle.
