In the upper atmosphere usually in latitudes above 50 degrees.
The northern lights tend to be wiggly lines across the sky made up of lots of downward pointing rays, they move and twist and change thickness sometimes at a rather fast pace. Try imagining a little kid drawing a river, and then lots more rivers around it.
The liquid iron core present at the interior of our earth has created a magnetic field around it.Till then which has been subjected to massive bombardment with high energy solar radiation & other form of harmful cosmic rays. All these high energy charged particles are get trapped in van Allen radiation belts & in addition get reflected by the earth's magnetic field towards the pole where these particles interact with the earth's atmospheric components in form of a visible energy called the northen lights.
Northern (and southern) lights are caused by interactions between solar wind (high energy particles from the Sun) and gas molecules in the atmosphere. It is concentrated at the north and south poles by the Earth's magnetic field.
It is produced by electromagnetic radiation. Ions from the sunwaves crashes with the gas molecules in the atmosphere. The gas molecules then receive energy from the ions, and the jump to a higher electron level. When they sink to a lower, energy in the form of radiation is sendt out. This radiation is northern lights.
One used to believe that southern lights were a reflection of the northern lights, but this is not true.
Electromagnetic radiation from the Sun interferes with our atmosphere and the collision causes energy to be released in the form of the lights you see.
The Northern Lights occur in the ionosphere, the highest level of the atmosphere, so all the others layer usually do NOT contain the Northern Lights.
The aurora borealis night-sky displays are also known as the northern lights, or the northern polar lights.(or the southern (polar) lights, depending on where you live)In the Southern Hemisphere this phenomenon is also known as the aurora australis.
The northern lights. The northern lights are known to be one of the most beautiful sights seen by man.
The best time to see the northern lights is on a cold night.
In the northern parts of China, yes.
The northern and southern lights. The Aurora Borealis and the Aurora Australis.
The Northern Lights, which are produced by particles from the sun interacting with the earth's magnetic field and the upper atmosphere.
Northern Lights (or southern if in the southern hemisphere)Northern lights
The northern lights are in the northern hemisphere hence nearer the north pole.
the northern lights are ,i am pretty sure,located in the northern hemisphere in Alaska
Northern Lights
They'd be the Southern Lights, not northern.
Northern Lights - pipeline - was created in 1985.
Northern Lights Audio was created in 2002.
Northern Lights College was created in 1975.
Nelvana of the Northern Lights was created in 1941.
yes,the northern lights can be seen from Kentucky
