How do the northern lights affect people?
Other than impressing them with their beauty and inspiring them to awe - the northern lights really don't have any effect on people. The solar radiation that causes the northern lights can interfere with radio transmissions so that is an effect related to, but not cause by, the northern lights.
How did the northern lights get their name?
The solar winds from the sun are emitted towards the Earth, however, because of the Earth's magnetic field the winds are refracted away from the Earth. At the point where the magnetic field is at its lowest force, the winds can enter the Earth's surface and form an array of lights and colours which are the gases. The fact they are at either ends of the poles is the reason why they are called the Northern and Southern Lights. EASY: They are "lights" and the lights are in the "north", ergo the name, The Northern Lights.
What is Mysterious moving lights in sky called?
These are called auroras, or the northern/southern lights, depending on which pole you are at. The northern lights are also known as the Aurora Borealis, while the southern lights are known as the Aurora Australis. It is the interaction of charged particles directed by the Earth's magnetic field.
Do the charged particles emitted from the sun cause the Northern Lights?
Yes, charged particles from the sun collide with oxygen and nitrogen atoms in the earth's ionosphere to cause the Northern and Southern Lights.
Is it possible to predict the northern lights?
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.

Is the Aurora Borealis a star?
no the Aurora Borealis is not a star. it is more commonly called the "northern Lights" the effect is when the magnetic field around the earth deflects the radiation from the sun. that is how the "light" effect is caused.
How do you use the word irridescent in a sentence?
Northern lights have an iridescent effect.
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.
Where do the northern lights shine?
in Alaska, the northern half of the Earth where it snows usually, Michigan, and the south pole.
How does the northern lights effect the attitudes of people?
i think the northen lights affect people by the color of them because they are so so cute

When the cloud of plasma reaches the earth what is formed?
Aurora borealis (aka "Northern Lights")
How visible and intense are the Northern Lights?
on May 1st it is 456.67 miles away from the earth
