Aspace explorer is moving through space far from any planet or star. he notices a large rock, taken as a specimen from an alien planet, floating around the cabin of the ship. should he push it gently, or should he kick it toward the storage compartment? explain.

the aurora is formed when charged particles emitted from the sun during a solar flare penetrate the earth's magnetic shield and collide with atoms and molecules in our atmosphere. these collisions result in countless little bursts of light, called photons, which make up the aurora.

auroras are generated by charged solar particles hitting molecules in earth's atmosphere. this usually happens in high latitudes, because our planet’s magnetic field tends to funnel these particles toward the poles. that’s why it can be experienced in northern ohio.
