Question

contrasting layers of the atmosphere
one evening, you see the northern lights, which are shown in the image.
in which layer of the atmosphere do the northern lights occur?
○ troposphere
○ stratosphere
○ mesosphere
○ thermosphere

Explanation:

Northern lights (auroras) form when solar particles interact with gas molecules in the thermosphere, the highest atmospheric layer where this charged particle interaction occurs. The other layers (troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere) lack the conditions for this phenomenon.

Answer:

thermosphere
