Explanation:

Rest of the answers.

As solar wind approaches Earth, what happens to the charged electrons?

They are deflected as Earth’s magnetic field exerts force on them.

Which statement is accurate about how the aurora borealis is formed?

When the electrons fall to a lower energy state, they release energy as electromagnetic radiation, light.

How does the energy in the light of the aurora borealis compare to the energy as an excited electron returns to its original energy level?

equal to

During the formation of the aurora borealis, the electrons in an atom experience a change in energy levels. Which statement about this change is accurate?

First, the electron absorbs energy to move to a higher energy level.
