What else can I help you with?
Why do the poles receive the less solar energy than the equator does?
Because the middle of the earths surface is the hottest on earth and the equator is right in the middle and the poles is at the end of the earths surfaces
Do solar flares from the sun cause auroras near earths poles?
Magnetic storms unleashed by solar flares can cause auroras, but all solar flares don't cause auroras.
What are the earths colorful bands of glowing light that are given off when solar flames hit the earths atmosphere over the magnetic north and south poles?
Aurora Borealis
Why does air temperature usually decreases towards the poles?
areas near the poles receive less solar energy per unit area.
Where can you find Aurora?
in the south and north pole it is caused by earths magnetosphere and solar flares omg im 13 and i know this
What creates the Aurora in the sky?
Auroras are caused by the solar wind hitting the Earth's atmosphere. Solar wind is a stream of particles (usually ions) that stream constantly from the Sun. Sometimes the wind is stronger than other times. The shape of the Earth's magnetic field usually deflects these particles, but at the poles they can get funneled down towards the Earth, which is why aurora happen more often at the north (aurora borealis) and south (aurora australis) poles. When solar wind particles hit atoms in the atmosphere, they knock off electrons (ionize them), which causes the colors we see.
What phenomenon do solar winds cause near the earths poles?
Solar winds interacting with the Earth's magnetic field near the poles create the auroras, also known as the northern and southern lights. Charged particles from the solar wind collide with gases in the atmosphere, producing colorful displays of light in the sky.
Why do the poles receive more solar energy then the equator does?
They don't. The equator receives more solar energy per area unit than the poles do.
What is earths position in the solar system according to its size?
Of the eight planets in our solar system, Earths is the fifth largest or the fourth smallest.
What is the difference of the earths tilt and the earths axis?
The axis is the imaginary line running through the north and south poles that our planet revolves around. Earth's tilt refers to the fact that the planet does not sit perfectly straight in relation to the solar plane but rather tilts slightly to one side.
Is it true that charged particles from the solar wind come closest to earth at the equator where earths magnetic field lines dip to earths surface?
No, charged particles from the solar wind are funneled towards the polar regions by the Earth's magnetic field. This results in the formation of the auroras near the poles rather than at the equator where the magnetic field lines are more parallel to the surface.
Is the moon earths shadow?
Solar Eclipse
