What are Brilliant light displays that occur in the ionosphere?
The dancing lights of the ionosphere are known as auroras. In the Northern Hemisphere they are called the Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights. In the Southern Hemisphere they are known as the Aurora Australialis or Southern Lights.
Where in the atmosphere and in the world do Auroras occur?
In the atmosphere Auroras usually occur in the ionosphere(the highest part of the atmosphere, between the thermosphere and the exosphere. The ionosphere gets its name because it is ionized by solar radiation.).We typically see auroras only in high-latitude areas above about 50 degrees (north or south). However, during intense periods of solar activity, it's occasionally possible to see auroras even from close to the equator.Aurora Borealis (The Northern Lights) can be seen in the Northern Hemisphere (Siberia, Northern Russia, Northern Europe, Iceland, Greenland, Canada and the US (Alaska)).Aurora Australis (The Southern Lights) can be seen in the Southern Hemisphere (the southern parts of Australia, New Zealand, South America, South Africa and Antarctica).When the solar storms are especially severe the auroras can be seen at greater distances from the poles than usual.
What is Mysterious moving lights in sky called?
These are called auroras, or the northern/southern lights, depending on which pole you are at. The northern lights are also known as the Aurora Borealis, while the southern lights are known as the Aurora Australis. It is the interaction of charged particles directed by the Earth's magnetic field.
Where do Auroras usually occur?
It depends on whether you're in the Northern Hemisphere or the Southern Hemisphere. There are two different names for the Auroras. Here they are: 1) Northern Hemisphere, Aurora Borealis 2) Southern Hemisphere, Aurora Australis The farther north you go, the more often these beautiful phenomena occur. I live in Minnesota, so I have to check the news or meteorologists to see the rate of occurrence. Hope this was helpful. Bye!
Are the northern lights auroras?
Yes, the Latin name for 'Northern Lights' is Aurora Borealis.
Where do Auroras appear?
In the northern and southern polar regions.

Can auroras be seen only in the northern hemisphere?
No. The Aurora Australis, also called the Southern Lights, are seen in parts of the southern hemisphere.

What is the importance of auroras?
auroras are the northern lights, and that is a very important event in Alaska
Are the northern and southern lights related to space weather?
The northern and southern lights (or auroras) are related to the solar wind, which is a kind of outer space weather, although it bears very little resemblance to weather here on Earth.

Types of Auroras?
Curtain aurora formation and corona aurora.
What sublayers can Northern lights or auroras be seen with?
The Ionosphere!

Aurora borealis is a name for what natural phenomenon?
The aurora borealis night-sky displays are also known as the northern lights, or the northern polar lights.(or the southern (polar) lights, depending on where you live)In the Southern Hemisphere this phenomenon is also known as the aurora australis.
