Auroras are caused by what hitting the atmosphere?
Auroras are caused by charged solar particles colliding with atoms of oxygen and nitrogen in the ionosphere, which is the highest level of the atmosphere.
What are the Auroras caused by?
Caused by the collision of charged particles directed by the magnetic field of earth. Mostly common in polar regions auroras are good astronomical sight at night.
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.
The aurora borealis is caused by the what which is part of the Thermosphere?
Aurora borealis is caused by collisions between gaseous particles.
What is A glowing region of the atmosphere caused by charged particles from the sun?
Aurora
Does Jupiter have Auroras?
Yes Jupiter does have aurorae. This is because Jupiter has a magnetic field that can attract the electrically charged particles emitted from the Sun, as well as the charged particles given off by Jupiter's volcanic moon, Io. The auroral emission is caused by electrically charged particles striking atoms in the upper atmosphere from above. The particles travel along Jupiter's magnetic field lines. This is the same mechanism that causes auroras on Earth

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.
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.
Are Auroras cause by light pollution?
No. Auroras are caused by streams of charged particles from the Sun, fired at the Earth by a coronal mass ejection; a massive solar flare. The charged particles interact with the Earth's magnetic field in the upper atmosphere and cause a glow. God's Own Neon Signs in the sky, you might think of it. Auroras are typically seen only at fairly high latitudes in the winter (because at high latitudes in the summer, the sky is too bright for auroras to be visible). However, a really big CME can cause auroras down to mid-latitudes, and in one extreme case, lit up the skies of Miami, Florida!

What is the cause of the Aurora Australis?
The Aurora Australis - Southern Lights (and the northern hemisphere's Aurora Borealis) are caused by the interaction of Earth's magnetic field with the flow of highly-charged particles from the Sun (known as the "solar wind"). Collisions of these particles with atmospheric molecules causes energy emission as visible light. Auroras are normally confined to polar regions, which are nearer the magnetic poles. When magnetic storms occur on the Sun, when electrically charged particles (ions) from the corona and solar flares are added to the solar wind produced by the corona, the charged particles are accelerated by the Earth's magnetic field interact with the gases in the upper atmosphere and cause the gas molecules to emit light. Electrons in the molecules are excited to higher energy levels and then release photons when the fall back to lower energy levels.
What is a natural light show caused by particles in the air that at charged by solar particles?
The Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights.
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!!
