When solar flares increase solar wind from the corona what do they cause in the Earths upper most atmosphere?
It increases the number of particles reaching the Earth's upper atmosphere. Normally, Earth's atmosphere and magnetic field block these particles. However, near the North and South poles, the particles can enter Earth's atmosphere, where they create powerful electric currents that cause gas and molecules in the atmosphere to glow. The result is rippling sheets of light in the sky called auroras.1 word for it would be?the aurora borealis
What is the farthest point north of the earths surface?

What are shimmering beams of light that can be seen inthe sky around earths north and south poles called?
The shimmering beams of light that can be seen in the sky around earths north and south poles are called auroras. They are usually reddish or greenish in color.

What is the name of the area surrounding earth that is influenced by earths magnetic fields?
The Earth's magnetic field is called the Magnetosphere. Loops of magnetic energy coupling the north and south pole that trap energetic subatomic particles are called the Van Allen belt.

What the affects the angle at which the suns rays hit earth?
The light from the sun travels in a straight line, and we can assume the light rays to be parellel. The angle of incidence on the earths rounded surface depends on where you are on the earth and what time it is. Mid-day on the equator and the rays would hit the ground straight on. Further to the north or south, or later/earlier in the day and the light rays would hit at more of angle. The rays would also have to penitrate more of the earths atmosphere as the angle increases, which takes more `strength` out of the sun.
