Here Comes the Sun

Hay Seed and City Slicker have been discovering more amazing facts about the sun. When they view the total eclipse on April 8, they will be able to see the glowing outermost part of the sun’s atmosphere called the corona. This is where the sun’s weather, called a solar wind, takes place.

When this powerful wind escapes the sun’s gravity, it spreads throughout the solar system. The wind cannot be felt on Earth, but when its charged particles collide with nitrogen and oxygen atoms in the Earth’s atmosphere, beautiful ﬂashes of greenish light appear to dance across the northern night sky. To learn more about these light ﬂashes, do the following:

• Find a drawing of the ﬂashes hidden in this magazine and give the page number.

• Do some research and give the name of these ﬂashes.

• Have you or someone in your family ever seen these ﬂashes?
