What are Brilliant light displays that occur in the ionosphere?
The dancing lights of the ionosphere are known as auroras. In the Northern Hemisphere they are called the Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights. In the Southern Hemisphere they are known as the Aurora Australialis or Southern Lights.
Why are Auroras and Northern Lights mostly green in color?
There are pink auroras too! the green wavelength (557.7 nm) is from oxygen; nitrogen gives pink 630.0 nm).
Which solar feature or activity produces auroras also called the northern and southern lights?
Solar flares
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.
How come the closer you get to the equator the less you see northern lights?
You don't often see auroras near the equator because the lights occur above the magnetic poles, so the Northern Lights are more often seen from northern latitudes in Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Northern Europe and Russia, and Alaska in the US. If the aurora is very spectacular it can be seen closer to the equator, but hugely spectacular auroras don't occur very often.
What is the importance of auroras?
auroras are the northern lights, and that is a very important event in Alaska
What sublayers can Northern lights or auroras be seen with?
The Ionosphere!

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.
Do the Northern Lights contain all the colors?
No, the auroras usually only have green, blue and red, as well as combinations of these.
Do the Northern Lights contain seven colors?
No, the auroras usually only have green, blue and red, as well as combinations of these.

Types of Auroras?
Curtain aurora formation and corona aurora.
