When is the Northern Lights in Mohe?

The best observation site in China is Arctic Village in Mohe, China, which is located in the northernmost part of China, with the highest latitude and closest to the North Pole. The reason for the formation of the Northern Lights is the color luminescence phenomenon over the high magnetic latitude area of the Arctic.

It is produced by the excitation (or ionization) of molecules or atoms in the upper atmosphere by the high-energy charged particle flow (solar wind) from the earth's magnetosphere or the sun. Aurora is essentially an optical phenomenon excited by the operation of atoms and molecules in the uppermost layer of the earth's atmosphere (above the ground 100-200 km). It is formed by the solar wind, the earth's magnetic field and the atmosphere.
