Aurora C

Aurora C is a theoretical model for understanding how Earth's magnetosphere responds to solar wind and magnetic activity. It describes the processes that create the auroras—beautiful light displays near the poles—by measuring how charged particles from the Sun interact with Earth's magnetic field. Aurora C helps scientists predict when and where these luminous phenomena might occur, improving our knowledge of space weather and its impact on satellites, power grids, and communication systems. Essentially, it's a scientific framework to better understand the mechanisms behind aurora formation and their variability.
