That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
The most common color of the Northern Lights is green. This is because the green color is produced when charged particles from the sun collide with atoms and molecules in the Earth's atmosphere, specifically with oxygen atoms. These collisions cause the oxygen atoms to emit green light, resulting in the vibrant green color that is often associated with the Northern Lights.
