The region surrounding Earth that is affected by Earth's magnetic field is called the magnetosphere. Within the magnetosphere are two regions where fast-moving charged particles from the solar wind have been trapped by the magnetic field.
When these charged particles escape, they collide with particles in the atmosphere. These collisions release energy in the form of light, which we see as a vivid, colorful display.
Given what you know about Earth and Venus, which statement best describes how auroras most likely appear on Venus?
A. Auroras are not visible on Venus because the planet's core is not made up of hot, charged, metallic particles.
B. Auroras are brighter on Venus because this planet is closer to the Sun and the solar wind reaching it is more powerful.
C. Auroras are dimmer on Venus because the tectonic plates of its lithosphere do not move rapidly enough.
D. Auroras are not visible on Venus because the charged particles in its core do not move quickly enough.
