Yes, the auroras begin as sunspots, or solar flares. Charged particles stream out from the sun and collide with atoms of oxygen and nitrogen in the earth's ionosphere. The oxygen and nitrogen give out green, blue and red light, the same way a neon tube works.
the aurora borealis (northern lights) occurs when the highly charged electrons interact with earth's atmophere.
Aurora Borealis means Northern Lights. Philippines is near the equator, so you can not see Northern Lights from the Philippines. IF the Earth tilts more, it may be possible we can see an Aurora Borealis/Australis
The Aurora. In the northern hemisphere it is named 'The Aurora Borealis' ( Latin for Northern Lights) In the southern hemisphere it is named ' Tha Aurora Australis'. ( Latin for Southern Lights).
It is unlikely to see the aurora borealis from West Texas. The aurora borealis is typically visible in regions closer to the Earth's poles, such as Alaska and northern parts of Canada, due to the interaction of solar particles with the Earth's magnetic field. Though it is not impossible to see the phenomenon in West Texas under exceptional circumstances, it is extremely rare.
The constituent particles of the solar wind are trapped by the earth's magnetic field and enter the earth's upper atmosphere as aurora. It is described as aurora borealis in the northern hemisphere.
Aurora Borealis is caused by particles hitting earth's atmosphere thermosphere and they are stopped, so they give of their energy in the "Northern Lights" or Aurora Borealis.

no the Aurora Borealis is not a star. it is more commonly called the "northern Lights" the effect is when the magnetic field around the earth deflects the radiation from the sun. that is how the "light" effect is caused.
the Aurora Borealis is an side effect of a solar storm, it does not directly affect the earth. (I'm a astronomy student)

An Aurora Australis or an Aurora Borealis occurs when streams of particles from the sun's solar winds hit the earth's atmosphere at an angle (as can only happen at the poles). These particles interact with the edges of the earth's magnetic field and when they collide with the gases in the ionosphere, the particles glow creating curtains of blue, green and magenta. An aurora is sometimes accompanied by a crackling sound.

The Aurora Borealis (Northern lights) and the Aurora Australis (Southern lights) both "shine" all year round. They are caused by energized particles from the sun striking the Earth's Magnetosphere.
The scientific name for the Alaskan Northern Lights is Aurora Borealis. This natural light display is caused by the interaction between solar wind and the Earth's magnetic field, producing colorful dancing lights in the sky.
