Solar storms are eruptions on the Sun which cause the emission of a huge amount of particles. If the emitted particles hit the Earth they engage in interaction with our planet’s magnetic field. This interaction causes the particles to gather around Earth’s poles therefore causing the northern or southern polar lights, the so-called auroras
