The aurora is a glow observed in the night sky, usually in the polar zone.
For this reason some scientists call it a "polar aurora" (or "aurora polaris"). In northern latitudes, it is known as "aurora borealis" which is Latin for "northern dawn" since in Europe especially, it often appears as a reddish glow on the northern horizon as if the sun were rising from an unusual direction.
The aurora borealis is also called the "northern lights". The aurora borealis most often occurs from September to October and March to April. Its southern counterpart, "aurora australis", has similar properties.
The cause of the aurora is charged particles from the solar wind, accelerated by the Earth's magnetic field, colliding with atoms in the upper atmosphere causing them to glow as they release their surplus energy.

Do solar flares from the sun cause auroras near earths poles?
Magnetic storms unleashed by solar flares can cause auroras, but all solar flares don't cause auroras.
What causes auroras on the moon?
Auroras on the moon are caused by the interaction of the solar wind and the moon's surface. Charged particles from the solar wind interact with the moon's magnetic field, resulting in auroras. However, the moon's lack of a significant atmosphere means the auroras are much fainter than those seen on Earth.
Is it true that auroras are the result of energy from solor flares?
is it false that auroras are the result of energy from solar flares
