Are the northern and southern lights related to space weather?
The northern and southern lights (or auroras) are related to the solar wind, which is a kind of outer space weather, although it bears very little resemblance to weather here on Earth.
What are northern lights caused by the solar wind called?
Aurora Borealis
When do you see the northerns light?
You see the Northern lights when the Sun gives off Solar Wind.
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.
What are the solar?
Solar wind is ejected out of the sun's upper atmosphere. We can see solar wind as the Aurora Borealis also known as the Northern Lights.
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.
The northern and southern lights occur when what material interacts with the earth's magnetic field?
The northern and southern lights occur when charged particles from the Sun called solar wind interact with the Earth's magnetosphere. This interaction causes the particles to collide with gases in the Earth's atmosphere, producing the colorful light displays known as auroras.
What kind of heat transfer causes earths major wind patterns?
convection causes the heat transfer.
What are the northrn lights?
The Northern Lights AKA Aurora Borealis are curtain like veils of moving lights which form high in the atmosphere when charged particles of the solar wind meet the Earth's magnetic field.
When the northern lights and southern occur what interacts with earths magnetic field?
Energetic charged particles generated by the solar wind.
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."
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.
