Why do the northern lights only appear where they do?
The auroras are the result of electrically charged particles from the sun being grounded out by the Earth's electrical field. The points of discharge are currently at the north and south poles, so that is where the auroras are most commonly seen. However, during intense solar storms, auroras have been seen much further south.
When does the Auroras occur?
The Auroras is collision that occurs during the Northern lights when active sun particles hit the earth's atmosphere. Auroras can be seen every year in the north and south pole hemisphere in an array of colors including pink, light green, yellow and blue.
How many Auroras on earth?

Where auroras caused?
Auroras are created at both the North and South magnetic poles.In the north it is called the Aurora Borealis and in the south it's called the Aurora Australis.This is caused by the solar wind interacting with the earth's magnetic field and our atmosphere.in cases of strong solar storms, the Auroras can be seen much farther from the poles.
When are Auroras produced in earth's atmosphere?
yeah boys am good
Why are auroras more commonly seen in Alaska then in Mexico?
Because both Alaska and Australia are much closer to the poles, where the effects of Earth's magnetic field can be seen -- auroras occur due to solar winds hitting the lower layers of the magnetic field.

Why are auroras more commonly seen in places such as Alaska than in places such as Florida?
Because of the proximity to the Earth's Magnetic North Pole.
What is the name of the shimmering beams oh light that can be seen in the sky around Earth's North and south poles are called?
Auroras. Aurora Borealis around the North Pole, and Aurora Australis around the South Pole. It is important to note that auroras have been seen as far south as Florida and Italy; while it is unusual for auroras to be visible in mid-latitudes, it does happen.

What sublayers can Northern lights or auroras be seen with?
The Ionosphere!
What can cause auroras near earth poles?
Solar winds are the out-of-this-world event that cause auroras to appear on earth. Auroras can happen near both the north and the south poles.

When was Aurora borealis seen in UK?
In Scotland, yesterday and the day before. On August 1, 2010, the Sun belched out a fairly substantial "coronal mass ejection" or CME. When a CME hits the Earth and interacts with the Earth's magnetic field (generally about 3 days after the eruption), we frequently see auroras at one or both polar regions. A strong CME, like this one, can generate auroras down to the mid-latitudes. In this case, auroras were seen as far south as Iowa. As the Sun comes out of its long "solar minimum", we can expect to see auroras more often at high latitudes.
How are Auroras created?
Coloured glows called auroras are common around the Earth's polar regions. They are caused by streams of particles from the sun that are attached to the magnetic poles as the particles hit the earth's upper atmosphere they cause atoms of gas to glow. Auroras can look like huge curtains hanging in the sky, slowly changing shape. Sometimes they are seen over a much wider area, particularly when the sunspot activity is high.
Why does earth have two auroras?
Because the Earth has 2 poles. A North and a South.
