Aurora inoratidza mifananidzo ine simba yechiedza chinopenya chinooneka semachira, mwaranzi, zvimiro zvakatenderera, kana kuti kupenya kunopenya kunofukidza denga rose.  Maaurora anokonzerwa nokuputsika kwemagineti kunokonzerwa nemhepo inobva kuzuva. Kunetsa kukuru kunokonzerwa nokuwedzera kwokukurumidza kwemhepo yezuva inobva mumakomba ecoronal uye kuputsika kwemasasa ecoronal. Iyi mhirizhonga inoshandura nzira dzezvinhu zvine simba zviri muplasma yemagineti. Izvi zvikamu zviduku, zvikurukuru maerekitironi namapurotoni, zvinodonhera mumhepo yokumusoro (thermosphere/exosphere). Ionization inobva pazviri uye kufadza kwezvinhu zviri mumhepo inoita kuti pave nechiedza chine ruvara rwakasiyana uye chakaoma kunzwisisa. Chimiro chechiedza cheaurora, chinoitika mukati memabhendi akapoteredza matunhu ose ari maviri epasi, chinotsamirawo pauwandu hwekumhanyisa hunopiwa kumativi anodonha.
