In what sphere do the northern lights occur?
The Northern Lights occur in the northern hemisphere, in the ionosphere, the highest level of the atmosphere.
What layer of the atmosphere contains northern lights?
Thermosphere (Ionosphere).
What are the northern lights in Antarctica called?
They'd be the Southern Lights, not northern.
Which term refers to a natural light show caused by the effects of solar winds in the earth's atmosphere?
The Aurora. In the northern hemisphere it is named 'The Aurora Borealis' ( Latin for Northern Lights) In the southern hemisphere it is named ' Tha Aurora Australis'. ( Latin for Southern Lights).
Where do the Northern Lights occur?
In the upper atmosphere usually in latitudes above 50 degrees.
Which layer has streamers of light called northern lights?
The Inosphere
In what sphere do the northern lights occur?
The Northern Lights occur in the northern hemisphere, in the ionosphere, the highest level of the atmosphere.
What is the glowing region in the atmosphere called?
the glowing region in the atmosphere is called an aurora. An aurora example of an aurora would be aurora borealis or the northern lights, or the aurora australis which is also known as the southern lights. *<=D
In which layer of the atmosphere does the northern lights form?
The Thermosphere
What layer does not contain the northern lights?
The Northern Lights occur in the ionosphere, the highest level of the atmosphere, so all the others layer usually do NOT contain the Northern Lights.
What layer of the atmosphere contains northern lights?
Thermosphere (Ionosphere).
What are the northern lights in Antarctica called?
They'd be the Southern Lights, not northern.
Why are northern lights made?
the northern lights are caused by magnetic energy being shot out of the passing through the earths atmosphere it also happen in the southern hemisphere because the atmosphere is weaker in these parts
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.
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.
What is the layer of the atmosphere northern lights?
The ionosphere is responsible for the northern light. The ionosphere is the outermost layer of the thermosphere.
Which term refers to a natural light show caused by the effects of solar winds in the earth's atmosphere?
The Aurora. In the northern hemisphere it is named 'The Aurora Borealis' ( Latin for Northern Lights) In the southern hemisphere it is named ' Tha Aurora Australis'. ( Latin for Southern Lights).
