No, auroras are the result of Solar wind interacting with the Ionosphere. Solar flares can intensify an aurora however.

What can cause auroras near earth poles?

Solar winds are the out-of-this-world event that cause auroras to appear on earth. Auroras can happen near both the north and the south poles.


Magnetic storms are a result of an increase in solar wind caused by eruptions on the sun called?

Solar flares.


What happens to people after a solar flare?

Very little happens to people after a solar flare. Solar flares are a regular occurrence. The charged particles they emit can disrupt radio signals and also increase the auroras.


Does sun flare attack the earth in 2012?

No. There will be solar flares in 2012 - there are flares every year, even the last couple of years during the depth of the deepest solar minimum in the last century - but solar flares do not "attack the Earth". It is possible that a massive solar flare could cause communications outages, or damage satellites, or cause spectacular auroras - but that could happen ANY time. There were a few satellites damaged by solar flares during the last solar max, in 2002, but the doom-sayers were wrong about that one, too.

Why do auroras mess up the radio signal?

Auroras are radio frequency emanations from the violent solar flares that occur on the SUN. Visibly these auroras can be seen visually as wavering shows of light in the far north sky. These flares can also cause momentary much higher levels of radio frequency noise which can and does cause interference to Radio & TV communication systems frequencies used here on Earth.

How do sunspots prominences solar flares and solar winds contribute to the northern light?

The northern lights, or auroras, are caused by the particles of the Sun's solar energy meeting the atmosphere of Earth. The particle waves of the solar energy is also called cosmic waves.
