What makes northern lights dance?

solar flares from the sun


Which solar feature or activity produces auroras also called the northern and southern lights?

Solar flares


What effects can solar flares have on Earth directly?

Solar flares can cause interference with electronic equipment (like cell phones) and because we have magnetic poles, the radiative particles that do make it to the atmoshpere become the northern lights.


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.


What are the Particles of plasma flowing out from our sun create the northern lights?

The Solar Winds


Why are the northern and southern lights found primarily at the poles?

Streams of solar particles are ejected in space during solar flares which are seen as Aurora Borealis (Northern lights) and Aurora Australis(Southern lights) because the solar particles are trapped in the concentrated earth's magnetic field which is the strongest at the two poles of the earth only and not at the equator where the magnetic field is the least.


What kind of activity can trigger northern lights?

Sunspots and solar flares push out charged particles into space. These stream out and some, attracted by the earth's magnetic poles, collide with oxygen and nitrogen atoms in the ionosphere and produce light. These are the triggers for the Northern and Southern Lights.


Do you notice when solar flares happen?

If you are in the right place, you know that big solar flares have happened, because you see the results of the energized particles striking Earth and being channeled into the north pole and south pole. These results are called the Northern Lights, although they occur at the South pole too.

What are northern light how do they form?

The Northern Lights are also called the Aurora Borealis. The Northern Lights is the effect of magnetic reactions. The Northern Lights are best seen in the North Pole and the South Pole. The sun gives off energy particles that is also called solar wind. The solar particles travel hundreds of miles in seconds. When the solar particles get close to earth they collide into the atmosphere and explodes. When millions of these explosions happen they create light. That light is called the Northern Lights or the Aurora Borealis.


Are the northern lights anything to do with the solar system?

no
