Northern lights were occasionally visible in the Swiss sky on Thursday evening. They were recorded by various webcams, including the one from the Weisshorn Arosa in Graubünden. Due to variable cloud cover, the spectacle could not be observed everywhere.
In the Northern Hemisphere, northern lights are also known as the Northern Lights. Such northern lights are rare in the Alpine region, as the weather service Meteonews writes. They are mainly known from polar regions.
Aurora borealis arise when electrically charged particles from the solar wind hit oxygen and nitrogen atoms in the upper layers of the Earth’s atmosphere and ionize them. This creates the different colors. The northern lights come from a height of around 100 to 200 kilometers in the green area and from a height of over 200 kilometers in the red area.
