What is Aurora counterpart role?
There's an Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) at the north magnetic pole and an Aurora Australis (Southern Lights) at the south magnetic pole.
How did the northern lights get their name?
The solar winds from the sun are emitted towards the Earth, however, because of the Earth's magnetic field the winds are refracted away from the Earth. At the point where the magnetic field is at its lowest force, the winds can enter the Earth's surface and form an array of lights and colours which are the gases. The fact they are at either ends of the poles is the reason why they are called the Northern and Southern Lights. EASY: They are "lights" and the lights are in the "north", ergo the name, The Northern Lights.
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.
Why do northern lights occur at the north pole?
Deflecting magnetic forces are concentrated at the earth's magnetic poles where charged particles collide and interact with our atmosphere
Is the northern lights a gateway to another world?
Nope.They're just the solar winds being colored by the magnetic field.

Can you see the northern lights on Mars?
No. The Northern and Southern lights, called aurora, are the result of Earth's magnetic field funneling high-energy particles from the sun toward the poles. Mars does not have a magnetic field and so does not have aurora.
What is the relationship between earths magnetic fields and the northern and southern lights?
because of electrons
What is a result of the charged solar particles in the magnetic field?
The Northern and Southern lights, respectively.

How do the northern and southern lights form?
bright lights from the solar wind get trapped in the magnetic field of the earth which creates a glow in the sky

What evidence is there on earth having a magnetic field?
To start if we didnt have a magnetic field we would be fried by the suns radiation. The northern lights are evidence that we have a magnetic field surrounding earth.
Why are northern lights made?
the northern lights are caused by magnetic energy being shot out of the passing through the earths atmosphere it also happen in the southern hemisphere because the atmosphere is weaker in these parts
Why do northern lights occur at the north pole?
Deflecting magnetic forces are concentrated at the earth's magnetic poles where charged particles collide and interact with our atmosphere
What protects the earth from ultroviolet rays from the sun?
The magnetic field, this also produces the northern and southern lights.
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.
