The "Northern Lights" (or Aurora Borealis) are seen near the North Pole.
The "Southern Lights" (or Aurora Australis) are seen near the South Pole.

What is light seen at the north pole and south pole when solar wind collides with earths atmosphere?
The "Northern Lights" (or Aurora Borealis) are seen near the North Pole. The "Southern Lights" (or Aurora Australis) are seen near the South Pole. For more information on Auroras, see the related link included.
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 does the astmosphere do?
Protect the Earth. A car's gas burns part of the atmosphere. If the atmosphere disolves or goes away, then the sun could damage the Earth or the north and south poles could change. Then compasses and electric stuff would not work. The atmosphere is very important to Earth.
How does the sun's energy affect air at the equator and the north pole differently?
Sunlight strikes the equator directly, and over a shorter distance through the earth's atmosphere, so retains more heat. At the poles, the sunlight strikes at an angle, and the light travels further through the atmosphere, so being much cooler.
Why does the North Pole only have one sunset?
Due to the tilt of the Earth. The North pole is pointing at the sun and is light or, as the Earth rotates around the sun and the South pole is pointing at sun, then the North pole is dark.

Why do the Northern Lights only occur in certain areas of the world?
They happen near the Earth's magnetic poles, in the north and in the south. There is a gas cloud that is expelled from the sun,which takes about 3days to reach earth. This cloud collides with Earth's magnetic field(north&south pole) which causes a chain reaction of energy among the particles in the gas cloud. The energy charges these particles,creating light shows.

Which term refers to a natural light shows caused by the effects of solar winds in the earth atmosphere?
I think you are talking about the aurora - there are different ones around the north pole and around the south pole.

What can happen if one car driving North on green light while other car making left turn says he had the greelight and collide?
what can happen if car driving north on green going straightwhile other car making left claim that he had the green light to turn left and collides
Which is farther away from the earth the sun or north star?
the north star. it takes 8 minutes for light to get from the sun to the earth. it takes half a billion years for light to get to us from the north star...i think. but i know that the sun is definetly closer.
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.
