JUST READ IT ITS NOT THAT HARD PLUS ILL GIVE BRAINLIEST Read the passage.

The northern lights are an amazing spectacle that can be seen in the sky near the North Pole. They occur when charged particles from solar storms are released into space from the sun and crash into gases in the Earth’s atmosphere. The charged particles excite atoms and molecules in the gases. When the atoms and molecules become excited, they release light and produce glowing bands of color on the horizon. Different gases release different colors. For example, nitrogen sends out blue or purplish-red light, while oxygen usually gives off green light.

What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?

Explanation:

to describe the causes of the northern lights

Explanation:

I would say it is to describe the causes of the northern lights because they add a lot of explanation about the causes, and how it works.

gay lol

explanation:

1) the taiping rebellion was prompted from 1850-1864 and waged against the ruling of machu qing dynasty. the rebellion was caused by hong xiuquan and class differences, later leading to a radical change in social and economic structure.

3) karl marx, a believer of the principle of socialism, believed that the working class would have to free themselves from the exploitation of industrialists by establishing a radical socialist classless society where all industries and   property are owned by the state.

5) as indians revolt gained power, people found additional reasons to protest against the british rule. princely families joined the uprising due to changes to the inheritance law which made adopted children ineligible to assume the throne. this was an attempt by the british to control royal succession in the princely states that were nominally independent from the british.
