How do auroras appear in the night sky?
Auroras appears in the night sky by atoms and molecules. Auroras is lights in the sky.
Why are the aurora borealis seen at night?
Most people think that the auroras only appear at night. Actually, the auroras are happening all the time, they are just harder to see during the day. The best time to watch the auroras is around midnight, when the auroras glow more violently than before. Soon afterwards, the auroras fade into colorful cloudlike patterns where they swirl and loop until dawn, when they are overpowered by the bright path of the rising sun. The aurora borealis follow a specific routine. At twilight, they begin glowing in the northern part of the sky. After this, the auroras transform into an arc that stretches about 1000 miles across the sky from east to west. While rippling and spiraling, vertical rays begin to change colors as their brightness constantly changes. Later, the lights scatter which makes it seem that the auroras disappear. They then appear in patch-like patterns for a few hours until they completely disappear.
Why the sky is high hiligaynon?
because the sky is in the high so they are called the sky is high boto at putay

What is a colorful light that shimmers in a dark polar sky?
Auroras
Are Auroras cause by light pollution?
No. Auroras are caused by streams of charged particles from the Sun, fired at the Earth by a coronal mass ejection; a massive solar flare. The charged particles interact with the Earth's magnetic field in the upper atmosphere and cause a glow. God's Own Neon Signs in the sky, you might think of it. Auroras are typically seen only at fairly high latitudes in the winter (because at high latitudes in the summer, the sky is too bright for auroras to be visible). However, a really big CME can cause auroras down to mid-latitudes, and in one extreme case, lit up the skies of Miami, Florida!
Can Aurora be seen in the winter?
Yes, frequently. The display of the aurora borealis isn't connected to the seasons. However, while auroras often OCCUR during the daytime, the faint light is difficult to SEE against the bright background of the sunlit sky. So we more often see auroras at night. And since auroras are usually high-latitude events, and the summer days are quite long at high latitudes, it makes sense that we will more often see auroras in the long winter nights - because the nights are longer!
Does the auroras look like poles of light curtains of light branches of light or planets of light in the night sky?
The auroras look like poles of light curtains in the night sky and not like the light branches of light or the planets of light.
How big are Auroras?
Auroras have no definite size. They occur when charged particles from the Sun ionize particles in the upper atmosphere as they spiral in toward Earth's magnetic field. Auroras may be localized in one area, or may extend from horizon to horizon in the sky.
How are Auroras created?
Coloured glows called auroras are common around the Earth's polar regions. They are caused by streams of particles from the sun that are attached to the magnetic poles as the particles hit the earth's upper atmosphere they cause atoms of gas to glow. Auroras can look like huge curtains hanging in the sky, slowly changing shape. Sometimes they are seen over a much wider area, particularly when the sunspot activity is high.
How do Auroras develop?
Auroras occur in the mesospere.

What is the name of the shimmering beams oh light that can be seen in the sky around Earth's North and south poles are called?
Auroras. Aurora Borealis around the North Pole, and Aurora Australis around the South Pole. It is important to note that auroras have been seen as far south as Florida and Italy; while it is unusual for auroras to be visible in mid-latitudes, it does happen.
