Which solar feature or activity produces auroras also called the northern and southern lights?
Solar flares
What is a natural light show caused by particles in the air that at charged by solar particles?
The Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights.
Which term refers to a natural light show caused by the effects of solar winds in the earth's atmosphere?
The Aurora. In the northern hemisphere it is named 'The Aurora Borealis' ( Latin for Northern Lights) In the southern hemisphere it is named ' Tha Aurora Australis'. ( Latin for Southern Lights).
What is the technical term for the northern lights?
Ionization in the stratosphere. When the solar winds from the sun makes contact with Earth's magnetic field, the result is the Northern and Southern Lights. The Northern Lights are called "aurora borealis," Aurora because that was the name of the roman goddess of dawn and, borealis is from the Greek [Boreas,] meaning "north wind." The Southern Lights are called "aurora australis," Australis is the Latin word for "of the south."
Can you see northern lights from Utah?
Yes you can see the northern lights from Utah but only on rare occasions when solar activity is extremely high. I have personally seen them in northern Utah.
How do sunspots prominences solar flares and solar winds contribute to the northern light?
The northern lights, or auroras, are caused by the particles of the Sun's solar energy meeting the atmosphere of Earth. The particle waves of the solar energy is also called cosmic waves.
Which solar feature or activity produces auroras also called the northern and southern lights?
Solar flares
Which term refers to a natural light show caused by the effect of solar winds in the earth's atmosphere?
That display is called the aurora borealis, also known as the northern lights.
What are northern light how do they form?
The Northern Lights are also called the Aurora Borealis. The Northern Lights is the effect of magnetic reactions. The Northern Lights are best seen in the North Pole and the South Pole. The sun gives off energy particles that is also called solar wind. The solar particles travel hundreds of miles in seconds. When the solar particles get close to earth they collide into the atmosphere and explodes. When millions of these explosions happen they create light. That light is called the Northern Lights or the Aurora Borealis.
If there were not a hole in the Ozone could the Northern Lights exist as they do?
The Northern Lights are not affected by the ozone layer. Auroras are caused by charged solar particles colliding with atoms of oxygen and nitrogen in the ionosphere.
What is a natural light show caused by particles in the air that at charged by solar particles?

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.
Are the northern lights anything to do with the solar system?
no
What are the lights called that are produced on Earth's polar hemispheres due to the solar wind?
The northern and southern lights. The Aurora Borealis and the Aurora Australis.
Do solar flares create the northern lights?
yes, as well as the southern lights.
What kind of wind causes the northern lights?
solar wind.
