Two questions which arises in my mind about aurora borealis are:
- Why does aurora borealis occur?
- Why does aurora borealis occur in a particular time of the year?
Answers:
- As solar wind approaches the Earth, it meets the Earth's magnetic field. In the ionosphere, the ions of the solar wind collide with atoms of oxygen and nitrogen from the Earth's atmosphere. The energy released during these collisions causes aurora borealis.
- Aurora borealis is active the whole year. Since it needs to be dark in order to see aurora borealis in the sky, late August/September through the very beginning of April is the best time to go to a destination located in the aurora zone for a chance to see them.
Note: These are the questions which arises in my mind only. It may differ from person to person.

Answer:
great lakes
Explanation:
Water from the melting glacier filled the basins , forming the Great Lakes.
The correct answer is D. The heat from the sun allowed only rocky planets to form in the inner part of the solar system.
Explanation
The inner solar system is the name of the region that includes the inner planets that are characterized by being terrestrial in type, have dense and rocky compositions, few or no moons, and there are no ring systems. Another of its characteristics is that Venus, Earth, and Mars have enough atmosphere to generate climate. On the other hand, the region of the outer planets includes the four most distant planets from the sun, located beyond the asteroid belt, that is, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune that are characterized by rotating at high speed, have gaseous surfaces, and rings around them (the most notable example is Saturn).
Answer:
5,778 K
Explanation:
The core of the sun is so hot and there is so much pressure, nuclear fusion takes place: hydrogen is changed to helium. Nuclear fusion creates heat and photons (light). The sun's surface is about 6,000 Kelvin, which is 10,340 degrees Fahrenheit (5,726 degrees Celsius).
