Aurora research is a field of study focused on understanding the formation, behavior, and characteristics of auroras, natural light displays in the sky primarily seen in polar regions. These phenomena occur when charged particles from the sun interact with the Earth's magnetic field and atmosphere, creating colorful displays of light in the sky. Researchers in this area study the physical processes involved in aurora formation, the relationship between auroras and solar activity, and the impact of auroras on Earth's atmosphere and climate. Additionally, they also investigate the cultural significance of auroras in various societies around the world.
