solar storms or winds hit the ozone
Oil, Northern Lights, Midnight Sun, Barrow,
solar flares from the sun
Yes, but not very long in advance. When there is a lot of activity on the surface of the sun and it ejects material towards Earth, the Northern Lights can be seen. So if the activity on the Sun is seen, then it is possible to predict that the Northern Lights will be seen in the following hours and days.
Yes, most definetly. The higher sunspot activety on the sun, the more northern lights. The ions that gives energy to the gas molecules in the atmosphere, which again produce northern lights comes with the sun waves (radiation) from the sun. the next sunspot high OS expected to be in 2013, so this will be a excellent year to see northern lights.
Science, the Northern lights are in the stratosphere because gases such as methane are reflecting off the sun. The Northern Lights are most visible in the Arctic region, like Alaska From: A 12 yr. old GIRL :)
Northern lights, Midnight Sun,
The Aurora Borealis (Northern lights) and the Aurora Australis (Southern lights) both "shine" all year round. They are caused by energized particles from the sun striking the Earth's Magnetosphere.
No, the northern lights do not make a sound. The light display is a result of charged particles from the sun interacting with the Earth's atmosphere, and there is no relation to sound production.
Yes?
You see the Northern lights when the Sun gives off Solar Wind.
We find solar energy whenever we see the Sun's light, feel the Sun's warmth, or watch the northern lights.
No. It is down to activity on the Sun, which is unpredictable. When there is unusual activity on the surface of the sun that is seen by astronomers, they can predict that the Northern Lights will be visible in a few days after that. That can happen at any time. There is no pattern in terms of when it can happen. Most of the time the required activity is not happening on the sun, so the Northern Lights don't appear at all.
