... A magnetic field does not mess with a stationary charge, but an electric field does. For every magnet, there is a North and South pole which can never be “separated”. Ain’t no thing as a North by itself. ...

Lecture 14: Magnetism
... For a long time, people knew only one source of magnetism (from iron). In 1821, a Danish physicist, Oersted noticed that an electrical wire carrying current made the nearby compass reorient. First clue of inter-relation between electricity and Magnetism. Ampere, Faraday established the nature of e ...

... A sunspot is an Earth-sized dark blemish found on the surface of the Sun. The dark color of the sunspot indicates that it is a region of lower temperature than its surroundings. Sunspots are caused by magnetic disturbances that occur in the Sun. They are magnetic storms on the Sun. The average numbe ...

Aurora

An aurora is a natural light display in the sky, predominantly seen in the high latitude (Arctic and Antarctic) regions. Auroras are produced when the magnetosphere is sufficiently disturbed by the solar wind that the trajectories of charged particles in both solar wind and magnetospheric plasma, mainly in the form of electrons and protons, precipitate them into the upper atmosphere (thermosphere/exosphere), where their energy is lost. The resulting ionization and excitation of atmospheric constituents emits light of varying colour and complexity. The form of the aurora, occurring within bands around both polar regions, is also dependent on the amount of acceleration imparted to the precipitating particles. Precipitating protons generally produce optical emissions as incident hydrogen atoms after gaining electrons from the atmosphere. Proton auroras are usually observed at lower latitudes. Different aspects of an aurora are elaborated in various sections below.
