The described activity causes the generation of the Aurora Borealis and the Aurora Australis.
The sun
Solar Winds
The aurora borealis is caused by interactions between solar wind particles and gases in the Earth's thermosphere. Specifically, it is the collision between these charged particles and oxygen and nitrogen atoms in the upper thermosphere that produces the colorful light display known as the aurora borealis.
The aurora borealis (northern lights) and aurora australis (southern lights) are caused by charged particles from the sun interacting with the Earth's magnetic field and atmosphere. When these particles collide with atoms and molecules in the atmosphere, they emit light, creating the colorful displays seen in the sky.

Aurora Borealis is caused by particles hitting earth's atmosphere thermosphere and they are stopped, so they give of their energy in the "Northern Lights" or Aurora Borealis.

An Aurora Australis or an Aurora Borealis occurs when streams of particles from the sun's solar winds hit the earth's atmosphere at an angle (as can only happen at the poles). These particles interact with the edges of the earth's magnetic field and when they collide with the gases in the ionosphere, the particles glow creating curtains of blue, green and magenta. An aurora is sometimes accompanied by a crackling sound.
YES!!! 'Aurora Borealis' is the Latin name for the 'Northern Lights'. The sun emits charged particles, which strike the Earth's upper atmosphere, and causes the Aurora. There is also an Aurora Australis , Southern Lights
Because they reflect light
Thermosphere, to be specific Ionosphere.
The aurora borealis, also known as the Northern Lights, is caused by solar wind particles interacting with gases in Earth's atmosphere. Specifically, charged particles from the sun are drawn towards the Earth's magnetic poles, where they collide with gases such as oxygen and nitrogen in the upper atmosphere, resulting in the colorful light display known as the aurora borealis.
