At which place did the phenomenon of Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) make the sky appear blood red?
A. Spiti Valley
B. Ladakh
C. Sikkim
D. Arunachal Pradesh
Correct Answer:
B. Ladakh
Explanation:
The Aurora Borealis, caused by charged particles from the Sun interacting with Earth’s magnetic field, was unusually observed over Ladakh, where it turned the sky blood red. Such sightings at lower latitudes are rare and occur due to intense geomagnetic storms, making this event scientifically significant.
