The Aurora Borealis or "Northern Lights", themselves, cause no problems. They are just a shimmering, rippling glow high above the Earth in the night sky. About the only problem I can envision them causing would be if somebody started watching the aurora instead of paying attention to his DRIVING; that could get messy.
However, the same coronal mass ejection from the Sun that causes the aurora could itself cause other problems, such as radio interference and, in extreme cases, might cause damage to satellites or electronic equipment. A couple of major power blackouts have been blamed on severe solar storms, and back in the 1870s a massive CME was even blamed for starting fires in telegraph offices!
What else can I help you with?
Is northen lights a source of light?
No, the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) are a natural phenomenon caused by charged particles from the sun interacting with gases in Earth's atmosphere. They create colorful light displays in the sky, but they are not a source of light themselves.
What does northen lights mean?
The Northern Lights, also known as Aurora Borealis, are a natural light display in the Earth's sky, predominantly seen in high-latitude regions. They are caused by the interaction of solar particles with the Earth's magnetic field, creating a colorful and mystical glow in the atmosphere.
What are the northen lights?
Northern lights is the name of a light phenomenon often seen in the northern regions. The lights have been around since Earth formed an atmosphere -the dinosaurs saw it, early humans saw it and our descendants will se it. The scientific name for the phenomenon is "Aurora Borealis", aurora for short.
What causes the northen lights?
The 'Northern Lights' (also known as the 'Aurora Borealis') is caused by the interaction of solar radiation with molecules in the Earth's atmosphere. Much of the Sun's radiation is deflected by the Earth's magnetic field. The magnetic field can be imagined as lines of force coming out of the Earth at the poles and running around the globe, almost parallel to the surface. The effect is most noticeable at the poles (there is also a 'Southern Lights, the 'Aurora Australis') because (some of) the radiation is deflected by the magnetic field towards the surface of the earth at the poles.
When was the Northen lights?
The Northern Lights, also known as the Aurora Borealis, occur when charged particles from the sun interact with the Earth's atmosphere. They can be observed at high latitudes, typically near the North or South Pole, during certain times of the year when solar activity is heightened.
What is the Aurora Borcalis?
the northen lights caused by the earths radiation causing the sun to flare due to radiation

Are the northen lights fake?
No the Arora Borealis (northern Lights) are very real and indescribably beautiful.
What are the northen lights in Antarctica called?
There are no northern lights in Antarctica. However, the southern lights -- Aurora Australis -- are visible from the continent.

What illuminates the night sky in northern latitudes like Alaska?
The Northen Lights or Aurora borealis
What are the Sun's Northen Lights?
The Northern Lights are not the sun's. They are earth's. They are caused by the interaction of our magnetosphere with the high energy wavelengths of sunlight. It's very complicated so much so that I don't understand it, but God made things interesting and beautiful for us, and this is but another example. Look at rainbows, and prisms, and colors and flowers. Beautiful, no?
Where are the northern lights located?
the northen lights are located at the north and south poleThe Northern Lights can be found near the polar regions up north like Northern Canada, Northern Europe, and Northern Asia.
How do the northen lights work?
The sun's rays reach earth, and something from space makes it change color, and make a strange sound.
Why do the northen lights happen?
I think it has something to do with the moon and the Sun. I think it happens when the Sun's rays hit the moon at just the right angle.
