This collision occurs in a circular or oval pattern, with the centre situated around Earth's magnetic pole. The resulting interaction produces light, similar to how electrons passing through the gas in a neon light encounter different gases like neon, leading to the production of various coloured light bulbs.
Northern Lights in CanadaThe visibility of the Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights, across Canada is influenced by the intensity of a geomagnetic storm. During a minor storm, the lights can be observed in regions such as Northern Atlantic Canada, northern Quebec, northeastern Ontario, western Ontario, the Prairies, and the B.C. Interior. However, during a stronger storm, the Northern Lights can be seen throughout Canada, except for southern Nova Scotia and southwestern Ontario.
Here's a list of Canadian provinces where the Northern Lights may be observed during a geomagnetic storm:Newfoundland and Labrador Nova Scotia (excluding southern Nova Scotia) Prince Edward Island New Brunswick Quebec (excluding southwestern Quebec) Ontario (excluding southwestern Ontario) Manitoba Saskatchewan Alberta British Columbia
