The moon has no atmosphere, so it has no auroras.
Auroras need oxygen and nitrogen atoms to emit light when they are ionized when struck by solar wind particles.

Why dont you see auroras on the moon?
The moon has an extremely weak electromagnetic field, so solar wind does not get caught in it like it does in Earth's. Even if the moon did have a substantial electromagnetic field, it has no atmosphere for the solar wind to react with to produce auroras.
How does solar wind cause auroras?
Solar wind causes auroras because atoms go through water droplets in clouds. They act as prisms (the raindrops) and this causes the billowing, beautiful Aurora Borealis.
How do auroras appear in the night sky?
Auroras appears in the night sky by atoms and molecules. Auroras is lights in the sky.
What causes the moon to tilt?
polarity of the moon
The Auroras forms where?
the Auroras form in the earths poles which is south pole and north pole.

What causes auroras on Earth?
The suns radiation hitting our atmosphere
What causes auroras and disrupts satellite transmissions?
ultraviolent radiation

Why don't we see auroras on the moon?
The auroras we see on Earth are a result of Earth's magnetic field funneling high-energy particles from the sun into Earth's upper atmosphere, where excited electrons in gas molecules create a glow. The moon has no magnetic field and no atmosphere.
What causes an engine rattle in a 1999 Oldsmobile when accelerating?
Auroras use only premioum gass
What out of this event causes auroras to appear on earth?
It is proven not to be an out-of this world event.... it is more like the ozone layer braking up to cause it's particalls to make dust residues in the sky and the moon/sun light make it glow..... Hope this helped
How do Auroras develop?
Auroras occur in the mesospere.

What real motion of the moon causes the pattern of moon phases?
the rotation of the moon causes the pattern of the moon phase.
How do auroras appear in the night sky?
Auroras appears in the night sky by atoms and molecules. Auroras is lights in the sky.
What causes red auroras'?
Red auroras are caused by nitrogen or oxygen emissions and altitude. When the aurora occurs at a very high altitude, there is enough oxygen present that it can take the time needed to emit a red light, without colliding with another molecule.
