Explaining Auroras Borealis and Australis

Explaining Auroras Borealis and Australis (updated)

Abstract

            Current explanation of the auroras is all theory that leaves many questions and provides few answers that pass the common sense stage. Basic conclusions, such as their relationship with the earth’s magnetic force field and solar wind, are well founded. It is the mechanics involved in explaining how those phenomena interact to produce the unique auroras that lacks clarity. With recognition of a here-to-fore unrecognized type of fundamental energy as the cause of illumination, the mechanics involved in auroras is clarified. Since the referenced energy acts to cause the energy that causes attraction (gravity charge or by some gravitons) and the energy that causes repelling (electron charge) to have a liking for each other, it is called an affinity charge

Discussion:

            Solar wind is primarily protons that because of being overheated, have lost their power to attract. The energy that drives protons is the attracting (gravity) charge therefore protons have lost the power to bond affinity charges and in turn electron charges. The dead protons are ejected from the sun as solar wind. Meanwhile, recognize that affinity charges (light) released as a consequence of the fission reactions taking place on the sun, are radiating through the same space as the solar wind but the affinity charges do not interact with the dead photons.

            The lines of magnetic force of the earth’s magnetic force field are encased with repelling (electron) charges. It is the repelling charges that cause lines of magnetic force to repel other lines of magnetic force, which is a fundamental force of magnetism. Then recall that affinity charge interact with, are attracted to, repelling charges. Normally the magnitude of affinity charges attracted to the magnetic lines of force are not sufficient to be visible. However, at times of high solar flare activity the number of affinity charges radiated by the sun increases. During those periods the number of affinity charges attracted to the lines of magnetic force are sufficient to be visible during hours of darkness as the glow called auroras. Because the affinity charges are attached to the lines of magnetic force they expose the behavior of the magnetic line of force.

            The different colors displayed are the consequence of the behavior of illumination. Color is produced by the perception of illuminating energy, which as now claimed to be affinity charges. It is the strength of the bonds of the atoms illuminated that establishes color and since the structure of the various atoms is unique the energy intensity forming those bonds is likewise unique. The intensity (think strength) of bonding energy is reflected in the frequency or wave length of the energy. Our sight senses interpret bonding energy intensity frequency as color with each frequency (wave length) perceived as a specific color. Lower frequencies are seen as red and the colors progress through orange, yellow, green, blue and violet as the frequencies increase.

             When affinity charges bond to an object, in this case the lines of magnetic force, they reflect the energy intensity of the bonds of the illuminated object. The bond intensity of the lines of magnetic force decrease with altitude therefore the aurora color at high altitude may be red or shades of red whereas, at lower altitudes the intensity is stronger and the colors reflected are in the green range.

Conclusion:

            This explanation is offered not only to clarify the mechanics involved in auroras but to justify the conclusion that the concept of affinity energy demands recognition.
