Which natural light phenomenon can be seen in the thermosphere?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Aurora
The governing concept is the interaction of charged solar particles with gases in the upper atmosphere. Auroras occur when energetic particles guided by Earth’s magnetic field collide with atmospheric gases, producing colourful light, mainly in the upper-atmospheric region associated with the thermosphere. Therefore, option C is correct. Dust storms, dew and fog are lower-atmosphere or surface phenomena and are not characteristic light displays of the thermosphere.
