An Aurora Australis or an Aurora Borealis occurs when streams of particles from the sun's solar winds hit the earth's atmosphere at an angle (as can only happen at the poles). These particles interact with the edges of the earth's magnetic field and when they collide with the gases in the ionosphere, the particles glow creating curtains of blue, green and magenta. An aurora is sometimes accompanied by a crackling sound.

What phenomenon do solar winds cause near the earths poles?
The Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) and the Aurora Australis (Southern Lights).
What is The Aurora that is visible in the southern hemisphere?
Aurora at the South Pole are named aurora australis.
Why is electrons the first part of the atom discovered?
cause
What is the name of the Aurora in Antarctica?
Aurora Australis is the name of the aurora in Antarctica.
What particles of an atom cause chemical bonds?
These particles are the electrons.
Do streams of protons and electrons cause the Aurora Borealis?
Yes, when they collide with atoms of oxygen and nitrogen in the ionisphere.
The aurora boreails is caused by the?
When charged particles from the sun strike atoms in Earth's atmosphere, they cause electrons in the atoms to move to a higher-energy state. When the electrons drop back to a lower energy state, they release a photon: light. This process creates the beautiful aurora, or northern lights.
What is a black aurora?
A black aurora is a type of aurora that exists at the top of the ionosphere, where electrons flow upward into space (unlike normal aurora, which involve downward flowing electrons), leaving deep cavities in the atmosphere, making blank spaces when regular aurora are seen, hence being "black" or non-luminous, but having the shape of aurora.
Why are there aurora lights in Antarctica?
Aurora are a polar phenomenon, and Antarctica is where you'll find the South Pole. From Google Results: "When charged particles from the sun strike atoms in Earth's atmosphere, they cause electrons in the atoms to move to a higher-energy state. When the electrons drop back to a lower energy state, they release a photon: light. This process creates the beautiful aurora, or northern lights"
How is the aurora borealis seen?
the aurora borealis (northern lights) occurs when the highly charged electrons interact with earth's atmophere.
Why don't we see aurora on the moon?
An aurora occurs when charged particles of the sun excite the electrons of atoms in Earth's atmosphere. The moon does not have an atmosphere.
Why is the aurora borealis often seen in “the northern latitudes of Canada”?
Spectacular aurora, or northern lights, seen by Colin Chatfield in Saskatchewan, Canada. Bottom line: When charged particles from the sun strike atoms in Earth's atmosphere, they cause electrons in the atoms to move to a higher-energy state.
What can cause an aurora borealis?
sunlight in the sun
What phenomenon do solar winds cause near the earths poles?
The Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) and the Aurora Australis (Southern Lights).
What does the magnetic field of earth cause?
Among other things the aurora.
Are Auroras a cause of light pollution?
No, the Aurora is a result of space weather.
What does the resistance of the flow of electrons cause?
it cause no electricity because of the resistance but.... if your question was..... "the caused by the flow of electrons" then the answer well be ( it cause electricity )
