The beautiful Aurora borealis is also known as northern light when particles from the sun collide with the earth’s atmosphere and release energy in the form of light. They often appear in a neon -green, rich lavender or a deep fox.

The planet feels the effects of a small G1 storm, said Noaa. A G1 can have weak power fluctuations and minor effects on satellite operations. It is unclear whether such effects have been reported. Larger storms can have much more difficult consequences, such as global power failures.
