In which city could you view the Aurora Borealis?
Possibly, Reykjavik, Iceland, or Oslo Norway, or Churhill, Manitobe, Canada. The words 'Aurora Borealis' is Latin for Northern Lighhs/ The Corresponding word, for the Southerm Lights, are ' Aurora Australis'. Yes!!!! There are Southern Lights.
What significance to the study of astronomy do the Aurora Borealis AKA Northern Lights have?
It proves that having a magnetic field - and therefore a molten core rich with iron - is essential for life on earth. If we didn't have it, our planet would be constantly bombarded with dangerous radiation and charged particles, and no life could exist.
Is aurora a nice name?
I think Aurora is a lovely name. A shortened form could be "Rory".
Why are aurora dangerous?
Ummmm..... because you could get a crick in your neck while looking up at them? Because you could get cold from being outside at night with your mouth open because the auroras are so beautiful? Because if you're driving when an aurora develops, you could have an accident from not paying attention to the road? No, really, there's nothing dangerous about an aurora.
What could you infer about solar activity if you spotted an aurora that lasted several nights?
A solar storm is in progress.

What happens if a solar flare is aimed at the earth?
It can mess with the earths electronics or can create aurora borealis. It could also destroy all life on earth... Just depends on the size
What would happen if you fell in the aurora borealis?
The aurora borealis is the closest thing to "nothing" that you can actually see; it is VERY thin air, partially ionized by the solar radiation spiraling in toward the Earth along the magnetic field lines. It is, for the most part, above the highest altitude that aircraft can reach. If you were to go up in a high-altitude balloon and jump out with a space suit and a parachute, you could "fall into the aurora borealis" and suffer no ill effects. Without the space suit, you would be dead in moments from lack of air, and without a parachute, you would be killed on impact with the ground 30 miles below.
Can you see the aurora borealis from Seattle WA?
It is uncommon for the Northern Lights to be visible at lower latitudes. But sometimes there are solar storms strong enough to produce the Northern Lights in places like Seattle Washington.

How were scientists able to see that Saturn has an aurora?
You could see Saturn clearly from a telescope . When saturn rotates you can probably see the aurora . But on the other hand Saturn is made of gas so it probably DOES have an aurora :)

Why are auroras not always visible from temperate regions?
The aurora may be "beyond the curvature" of the earth. Additionally, they can be subtle. When lacking extreme brightness, they could be "unseeable" or missed or lost in "light pollution" to a viewer at moderate latitude. Certainly when a large magnetic storm is in progress, viewing latitude is more favorable to the viewer. Just such a large event on the sun in 1994 put observers at 47 degrees south latitude in a position to watch things. Wow! What a show that must have been! Got a link for ya if'n ya wan it.
Who is dona Aurora?
Dona is the Spanish word for Lady, so Dona Aurora means Lady Aurora. This could refer to many different people. Philippine Senator Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino's mother was called Dona Aurora.There is also a flower: Mussaenda philippica Dona Aurora(white) the Beautiful white hybrid of Mussaenda - Dona Aurora.
Why is corona borealis most visible during May?
Because there's a certain time of night when you like to do all of your stargazing. If you were willing to look for it at any time when it's dark outside, you could see Corona Borealis somewhere in the sky during nearly 10 months of the year.
What are the earth's polar regions?
The polar regions of the magnetosphere is where the Auroras form. Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) at the North Pole, and Aurora Australis (Southern Lights) at the South Pole. These Auroras form when highly charged particals from coronal mass ejections (CME's) collide with oxygen and nitrogen in the upper atmosphere and raise the energy levels of the two aforementioned elements.
