According to asc-csa.gc.ca:
The Sun blasts charged particles (electrons and protons) into space, which is called the solar wind. Earth’s magnetic field forms an invisible shield that redirects the solar wind around our planet.
As Earth’s magnetic field protects us from the solar wind, the magnetic field lines are dragged and stretched. They snap back like an elastic band, launching charged particles down towards Earth’s surface along the magnetic field lines.
Auroras occur when these charged particles launched along Earth’s magnetic field collide with gases in Earth’s upper atmosphere.
