Zorza polarna - świecenie górnych warstw gazów atmosferycznych powodowane wiejącym od Słońca wiatrem słonecznym (strumieniem naładowanych cząstek).
Auroras - is a natural light display in the Earth's sky, predominantly seen in the high latitude regions (around the Arctic and Antarctic).
Auroras are produced when the magnetosphere is sufficiently disturbed by the solar wind that the trajectories of charged particles in both solar wind and magnetospheric plasma, mainly in the form of electrons and protons, precipitate them into the upper atmosphere (thermosphere/exosphere) due to Earth's magnetic field, where their energy is lost.
