Which part of the thermosphere causes the Aurora Borealis?
The Aurora Borealis and its southern counterpart the Aurora Australis are formed high in the atmosphere in the ionosphere, which is sometimes considered as part of the thermosphere, the outermost actual atmosphere. Above this layer, the exosphere has so few molecules that they can escape into space.(see the related question below)
The Aurora borealis and Aurora australis occur in which layer of the atmosphere?
The Aurora Borealis and its southern counterpart the Aurora Australis are formed high in the atmosphere in the ionosphere, which is sometimes considered as part of the thermosphere, the outermost actual atmosphere. Above this layer, the exosphere has so few molecules that they can escape into space.(see the related question below)
What aurora borealis is caused by the blank which is a part of the atmosphere?
Charged particles from the Sun striking the upper atmosphere.
In which layer of the atmosphere do the Auroras occur?
In the upper mesosphere and the lower thermosphere, gas particles become electrically charged. Because these charged particles are called ions, this part of the thermosphere is called the ionosphere. In polar regions these ions radiate energy as shimmering lights called auroras, usually in latitudes above 50 degrees. The Aurora Borealis and its southern counterpart the Aurora Australis are formed high in the atmosphere in the ionosphere, which is sometimes considered as part of the thermosphere, the outermost actual atmosphere. Above this layer, the exosphere has so few molecules that they can escape into space. For more information visit the question "What causes the Aurora Borealis?"
In which layer of the atmosphere do the Northern Lights occur?
The "Northern Lights" (or Aurora Borealis) and their southern counterpart the Aurora Australis are formed high in the atmosphere in the ionosphere, which is sometimes considered as part of the thermosphere, the outermost actual atmospheric layer. Above this layer, the exosphere has so few molecules that they can escape into space.(see the related question below)

What are facts about the Aurora borealis?
1. The lowest part of it is higher then a jet plane flies. 2. It is considered a natural light
The aurora borealis is caused by the what which is part of the Thermosphere?
Aurora borealis is caused by collisions between gaseous particles.
You will usually see me at night I am usually found in only one part of the World I am named after a Roman Goddess and the Greek word signifying wind What am I?
Aurora Borealis.
What is the consequence of solar flares?
One consequence is increased ionization of earth's upper atmosphere. The good part of that is spectacular displays of the aurora borealis. The bad part is increased radio, telephone and satellite interference.
What would happen if you fell in the aurora borealis?
The aurora borealis is the closest thing to "nothing" that you can actually see; it is VERY thin air, partially ionized by the solar radiation spiraling in toward the Earth along the magnetic field lines. It is, for the most part, above the highest altitude that aircraft can reach. If you were to go up in a high-altitude balloon and jump out with a space suit and a parachute, you could "fall into the aurora borealis" and suffer no ill effects. Without the space suit, you would be dead in moments from lack of air, and without a parachute, you would be killed on impact with the ground 30 miles below.
What is the upper portion of the thermosphere?
The upper part of the thermosphere is called the Ionosphere A+ Magnetosphere
What is Andres Celsius theory?
Anders Celsius took part of an expedition to verify Isaac Newton's theory that the world was not actually a perfect sphere. He and his assistant discovered that the aurora borealis influenced compass needles.
