The Auroras forms where?

Auroras form in the Earth's upper atmosphere when charged particles from the Sun interact with the Earth's magnetic field. These particles collide with gas molecules, creating a beautiful light display known as the Aurora Borealis in the Northern Hemisphere and the Aurora Australis in the Southern Hemisphere.


Where auroras caused?

Auroras are created at both the North and South magnetic poles.In the north it is called the Aurora Borealis and in the south it's called the Aurora Australis.This is caused by the solar wind interacting with the earth's magnetic field and our atmosphere.in cases of strong solar storms, the Auroras can be seen much farther from the poles.


Does the South Pole show the northern lights?

No. The aurora at the South Pole are called aurora australis or would be 'southern lights'.


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.


Why do northern lights occur at the north pole?

Northern lights, or auroras, occur at the North Pole (and South Pole) due to interactions between solar wind and the Earth's magnetosphere. Solar wind particles are funneled towards the poles by Earth's magnetic field, where they collide with gas molecules in the upper atmosphere, producing the colorful light display known as auroras.

What is the name of the shimmering beams oh light that can be seen in the sky around Earth's North and south poles are called?

Auroras. Aurora Borealis around the North Pole, and Aurora Australis around the South Pole. It is important to note that auroras have been seen as far south as Florida and Italy; while it is unusual for auroras to be visible in mid-latitudes, it does happen.


Do Auroras only show in the north?

No, near the south pole there are lights as well.

Where can you see Auroras?

The nearer you can get to the north or south magnetic pole, the more likely you are to see them, but they are never guaranteed. You can access forecasts on the internet.

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.
