Aurora's on other planets

- Although it is the most well
known, Earth is not the only planet that forms
auroras from the interaction between its
magnetic field and the suns solar winds. Other
planets in our solar system such as Jupiter also
forms auroras in much the same way as our
planet. In fact, auroras form on nearly every
other planet in our solar system. the only
planet to never have an observed aurora is
Mercury. They even occur on some of Jupiters
moons such as Io, and Europa.
