Yes, charged particles from the sun collide with oxygen and nitrogen atoms in the earth's ionosphere to cause the Northern and Southern Lights.

What is the cause of the aurora borealis northern lights?
It's the interaction between the Earth's magnetic field and charged particles emitted from the Sun (the solar 'wind').
A glowing region caused by charged particles from the sun?
It is the northern lights. The northern lights are caused by charged particles that sometimes are sucked into the Earth on either ends of the poles. They also have other names but I can't remember. Thanks!!
What is a natural light show caused by particles in the air that at charged by solar particles?
The Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights.
How do the northern lights get their color?
The Northern Lights, also known as Aurora Borealis is caused by collisions between electrically charged particles from the sun that enters the earth's atmosphere. The type of gas particles that are colliding result in the variations in color.
What is Mysterious moving lights in sky called?
These are called auroras, or the northern/southern lights, depending on which pole you are at. The northern lights are also known as the Aurora Borealis, while the southern lights are known as the Aurora Australis. It is the interaction of charged particles directed by the Earth's magnetic field.

Effects that charged particles have hitting gas particles in the Earth's atmosphere?
Aurora. Northern Lights.
What lights make northern lights?
Northern lights, or auroras, are caused by the collision of energetic charged particles with atoms in the high altitude atmosphere. The charged particles originate in the magnetosphere and solar wind and are directed by the Earth's magnetic field into the atmosphere.

The Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights.
What is the display of southern lights?
The Southern Lights, also known as the Aurora Australis, are just like the Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis. They result from charged particles from the sun that are deflected by the earth's magnetic field, which is strongest at the poles, which are where most of these charged particles end up.
How do the northern lights get their color?
The Northern Lights, also known as Aurora Borealis is caused by collisions between electrically charged particles from the sun that enters the earth's atmosphere. The type of gas particles that are colliding result in the variations in color.
If there were not a hole in the Ozone could the Northern Lights exist as they do?
The Northern Lights are not affected by the ozone layer. Auroras are caused by charged solar particles colliding with atoms of oxygen and nitrogen in the ionosphere.
Where are the particles in the northern lights from?
Charged particles stream out from the sun after a sunstorm at supersonic speed. They collide with atoms of oxygen and nitrogen in our ionosphere to produce the colors.
When the northern lights and southern occur what interacts with earths magnetic field?
Energetic charged particles generated by the solar wind.

What the nothern lights?
northern charged particles tapped in earth's magnetosphere produce spectacular aurora, know as th enorthern lighs in the northern lights in the northern hemisphere. satellites or even a space shuffle are in orbit. hope it helped
