A Physical Explanation for the Formation of Auroras

Abstract: What mechanism causes the symmetrical distribution of two oval-ring auroras approximately around the geomagnetic poles but uneven brightness distribution of them? To answer this question, we firstly describe the charged particles like electrons or protons emitted from the Sun and the magnetic ions formed in the Earth's atmosphere. Then, the interaction dynamics of two-type particles between electron and ion is given under the non-relativistic limit. Finally, under the relativistic frame, auroras deduced are hi… Show more

“…High-energy particles coming from a solar storm can exceed the normal speed of sunlight. These energetic particles from the Sun and magnetospheric particles from the Earth tend to collide orthogonally over the Earth's poles, forming the so-called aurora phenomenon [22]. Three theories for the universe form in three eras.…”

“…These ions move along the white line in Figure 5(a). At the points A and B, accelerated solar particles collide orthogonally with the Earth ions [66]. As a result of the collision, new energetic particles are triggered, which are the aurora phenomenon that can be observed at nighttime.…”

“…In fact, during a total solar eclipse, the enhanced bright spots around the Sun are an excellent experiment for particle collisions naturally or a natural orthogonal collider [33]. For another optical phenomenon, the Earth's aurora is formed from the orthogonal collision of solar charged particles with geomagnetic ions at the upper atmosphere near the two poles [34].…”
