Aurora-like events in the thermosphere are related to which cause?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Interaction of charged particles with upper atmospheric gases
Auroras occur when energetic charged particles, mainly associated with the solar wind and guided by Earth’s magnetic field, collide with gases in the upper atmosphere. The gases emit light during this energy transfer, making option B correct. Tides, fog, and ordinary clouds belong to different processes and cannot produce auroral displays in the thermosphere or ionosphere.
