Where is Aurora activity greatest?
at the poles
When do Aurora borealis occurs?
The aurora borealis occur at times of heightened states of solar activity, this also applies to the aurora australius.
What is it called when particles from the sun strike atoms in the ionosphere near the poles?
The described activity causes the generation of the Aurora Borealis and the Aurora Australis.
Where are the Auroras?
The constituent particles of the solar wind are trapped by the earth's magnetic field and enter the earth's upper atmosphere as aurora. It is described as aurora borealis in the northern hemisphere.
How is the aurora borealis seen?
the aurora borealis (northern lights) occurs when the highly charged electrons interact with earth's atmophere.

Do Auroras only happen on earth?
All of the planets in the solar system have auroras, except for Mercury; which has no significant atmosphere where an aurora can form.Auroras have also been observed on some of Jupiter's moons.None of the dwarf planets have any aurora activity.
Is aurora's picture Earth?
yes it is
What is the vegetation of the aurora lights?
The aurora occurs in the ionosphere of the earth, over 60 miles (80 km) above the surface of the earth. There is no vegetation there.
How does Aurora borealis affect the earth?
the Aurora Borealis is an side effect of a solar storm, it does not directly affect the earth. (I'm a astronomy student)
What is it called when particles from the sun strike atoms in the ionosphere near the poles?
The described activity causes the generation of the Aurora Borealis and the Aurora Australis.
What is the origin of the particles that collide with gases in earth's atmosphere?
Charged particles come from the sun, especially after sunspot activity and solar flares. They stream through space and are attracted to the magnetic poles of the earth. In the ionosphere they collide with oxygen and nitrogen atoms, which give out green, blue and red light. This light is known as the Aurora Borealis, or Aurora Australis, the Northern and Southern Lights.
Beams of light that can be seen from earth's poles?
Aurora
Where are the Auroras?
The constituent particles of the solar wind are trapped by the earth's magnetic field and enter the earth's upper atmosphere as aurora. It is described as aurora borealis in the northern hemisphere.
Is aurora intelligent?
No. The aurora has no conscience nor intelligence. It is a phenomenon resulting from the interaction of the solar wind and the Earth's magnetic field.
How is the aurora borealis seen?
the aurora borealis (northern lights) occurs when the highly charged electrons interact with earth's atmophere.
