A space tornado is a solar windstorm and is exceptionally larger and more powerful than conventional tornadoes on Earth.[1][2] They are also thought to produce the aurora borealis phenomenon.[3]
Tornadoes on Earth are formed within the atmosphere by thunderstorms, while space tornadoes are formed by plasma interacting with magnetic fields.
