In the 1700s 后面的内容和本体相关

Scientists propose that there was an electric current that stretched between the north and south poles. When this electric current was disturbed an aurora would form. 是两极间的电流被干扰形成的。D正确 Others that the phenomenon caused by light that refracted off glaciers and snow in the arctic.

25. 答案：A

分类：推断题

With the coronagraph you can observe the corona continuously anytime you want.前面讲了eclipse和corona这里指出coronagraph很关键

26. 答案：B

分类:细节题

The charged particles interact with earth's magnetic field, and they are pouredtoward the south and north poles. Some of them make it to our upper atmospherewhere they collide with atoms with oxygen and nitrogen atoms. This collisioncauses the atoms to light up to glow. Different types of colors glow in differentcolors. And this is what is happening when we see an aurora. 完整对应了B的过程。
