Aurora Light
The northern lights explained
Ever wondered how to enable the aurora borealis? This article aims to help you understand the process will see the Northern Lights Tour, the demystification of science without spoiling the magic.
Sometimes you can say that "the electric atmosphere, and northern lights tours This is especially true. The swirls of color seen in the sky at night when the aurora is in action are the result of electrical charges react with gases in the upper atmosphere. Electricity flows in question are tens of thousands of times more powerful than the electricity you receive from your unit, it at home. Fortunately, all that happens between 20 and 200 miles above your head.
The color of the aurora borealis
The color of the aurora depends height in the atmosphere reactions take place. You can expect to see shapes in the green sky for Northern Lights tours, but other colors are also produced. If event occurs lower, just 60 miles high or less, and nitrogen is involved, then the aurora may appear blue. A reaction of nitrogen higher can show cause or light purple. The most common sign of the green light to an involvement of oxygen about 150 miles, if the reaction is still greater then the light can appear red.
Nothing unusual to oxygen and nitrogen together constitute the majority of Earth's atmosphere, the same air you breathe and see the sky for Northern Lights trip. But when charged particles collide with the Earth's upper atmosphere, these gases behave like ordinary a neon lamp. So, where these charged particles of magic come from?
The solar wind
Particles are responsible for this spectacular show of light from the sun. It is an understatement to say that the sun produces a lot of energy, nuclear giants and reactions that take place in the sun, fragments of atoms spit a million miles per hour. This flow of particles that moves the sun the solar system called the solar wind. When these winds reach the atmosphere Land which is thinner – around the North and the South Pole – fireworks happen.
Because the size of the sun's solar wind is not constant, as the aurora borealis. Sunspots occur when the sun is a sudden increase its energy production, sending a rocket from his crown. Sunspots cause an increase in solar wind activity about every eleven years. For this reason, people who make the visits Northern Lights during the years 2011 and 2012, you can expect see a show even more spectacular than usual.
If these winds, gas and electricity have been confused, I'm sure it will be explained again when you take your visit Northern Lights in Iceland. Whatever your understanding of the events, see the northern lights is sure to be a magical and unforgettable experience.
