Oxygen does have another excited state in which it can release a red hue, but this occurs much higher up at altitudes of about 200-250km. Most commonly, the aurora appears green, a colour given off by oxygen at altitudes 100-150km above Earth. The intensity of the solar wind and the stability of Earth's magnetic field both play a part in the strength and motion of the aurora borealis, or Northern Lights.Īuroral displays can vary significantly in shape and colour.

The aurora is produced by a stream of charged particles emanating from the Sun - known as the solar wind - hitting Earth's atmosphere, where it strikes gas atoms and molecules - mostly oxygen and nitrogen - ionising them and producing a spectacular natural light show. The aurora borealis, or the 'Northern Lights', is one of the most fabulous natural phenomena that can be seen on Earth: green, purple and pink wisps filling the sky creating an ethereal glow that really has to be seen to be fully appreciated.
