That’s a beautiful thought. The aurora isn’t just a light show – it’s charged particles from the solar wind spiraling along Earth’s magnetic field lines, and when they hit the atmosphere they collide with nitrogen and oxygen, producing those shimmering colors. On the ground, the same particles can subtly influence the magnetic field around trees, but the effect is tiny compared to the planet’s overall field. Still, it’s cool to imagine the forest leaves catching a faint magnetic whisper as the sky lights up. If you’re curious, we could dig into how those high‑energy particles might affect plant biochemistry or even the tiny electric currents that plants generate.
