2. Id like to see the lights of the aurora. They arestrange
colour lights moving across the skycoming and going, like clouds in
a strong wind. The aurora comes because of storms 150 million
kilometres away, in the sun. Its made bysomething called solar
wind, we cannot see itor touch it. This is a wind of particles
thattravel away from the sun all the time at about 400 kilometres a
second. 3. When that particles come near the Earth, a wall
calledearths magnetic field pushes them away on either side. But
earths magnetic field has two windows in it: the magnetic north and
the magnetic south. 4. At these places, the earths magnetic
fieldturns down into the Earth, and some of the particles from the
solar wind come through these magnetic windows. These
solarparticles crash into the particles that arealready in our sky,
and when this happens,we can see the beautiful lines or clouds
oflight of the aurora. 5. Usually you can see it only at the very
north of the Earth, where iscalled the aurora borealis orNorthern
Lights; or at the verysouth, where is called the aurora australis
or Southern Lights. 6. Aurora australisAurora borealis 7. Alaska,
Iceland, Siberia, the north of Greenland, Norway, Swedenand
Scotland are good places to seethe aurora borealis.Aurora borealis
in Alaska. 8. To see the aurora australis you can go to thesouth of
Australia, Tasmania or New Zeland. Aurora australis in New 9. The
best times to see the lights of the aurora are around the
equinoxes, in March and September.Id love to go to some of this
places to see the very beautiful colours of that lights in thesky,
I think it would be amazing and very relaxing. THE END.
