The Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis, are a natural light display in Earth's atmosphere caused by the interaction of the solar wind with the Earth's magnetic field. When charged particles from the sun collide with gases in our atmosphere, they emit light in stunning green, purple, and red hues. The Kp Index measures the intensity of Earth's magnetic disturbance, with higher values indicating more intense auroral activity—perfect conditions for viewing this celestial phenomenon.
