What else can I help you with?
Why can you only see auroras in certain places?
Auroras occur near the Earth's magnetic poles due to interactions between charged particles from the Sun and the Earth's magnetic field. This restricts aurora sightings to regions near the North and South Poles where the magnetic field lines are closer to the planet's surface.
What are shimmering beams of light that can be seen inthe sky around earths north and south poles called?
Those shimmering beams of light are called auroras. Auroras occur when charged particles from the sun interact with Earth's magnetic field, creating colorful displays of light in the sky near the poles.
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.
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.
Where do the auroras occur in the night sky?
Oh, happy little auroras dancing gracefully in the night sky! Auroras appear near the North and South Poles, creating a delightful and colorful light show for all to see. They twirl and dance across the sky, adding a touch of magic to the darkness of the night.
Do Auroras only show in the north?
No, near the south pole there are lights as well.
Where on earth are you most likely to see auroras in the sky?
The aurora borealis and aurora australis occur in the thermosphere.
What can cause auroras near earth poles?
Auroras near Earth's poles are caused by solar wind particles interacting with the Earth's magnetic field. When these charged particles from the sun collide with atoms and molecules in the Earth's atmosphere, they create light emissions, producing the colorful auroras. The Earth's magnetic field funnels these particles towards the poles, resulting in the concentration of auroras in these regions.

What light seen at the north pole and south pole when solar wind collides with earth 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.

Explain why auroras are seen mostly near the north pole and south pole?
An Aurora Australis or an Aurora Borealis occurs when streams of particles from the sun's solar winds hit the earth's atmosphere at an angle (as can only happen at the poles). These particles interact with the edges of the earth's magnetic field and when they collide with the gases in the ionosphere, the particles glow creating curtains of blue, green and magenta. An aurora is sometimes accompanied by a crackling sound. The Aurora Australis appears around Antarctica and the Aurora Borealis appears around the Arctic.

Is it mostly hills or plains in north America?
It varies, in the mid-west, it is very flat, but near South Dakota it becomes very hilly.

Where are Auroras seen on earth?
Auroras are typically seen near the Earth's polar regions, closer to the North and South Poles. In the Northern Hemisphere, they are called the Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights, while in the Southern Hemisphere, they are known as the Aurora Australis or Southern Lights. These natural light displays occur when charged particles from the sun interact with the Earth's atmosphere.
