A glowing region caused by charged particles from the sun?

It is the northern lights. The northern lights are caused by charged particles that sometimes are sucked into the Earth on either ends of the poles. They also have other names but I can't remember. Thanks!!


What causes light waves?

Light waves are electromagnetic waves that are caused by the acceleration of charged particles, such as electrons. These charged particles create oscillating electric and magnetic fields that propagate through space as light waves.


Auroras are caused by electrically charged particles in the?

Auroras are caused by electrically charged particles from the sun interacting with the Earth's magnetic field. When these particles collide with gases in the Earth's atmosphere, they produce beautiful light displays known as auroras.


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.


Are light waves caused by a vibrating object?

Light waves are not caused by vibrating objects. Light waves are electromagnetic waves that do not require a medium to propagate, unlike sound waves which are caused by vibrating objects. The vibrations of charged particles, such as electrons, generate light waves.


Why don't charged particles glow?

Charged particles do not glow because they are not emitting visible light. Glow refers to the emission of visible light by a material or object, which is not a property of charged particles on their own. Charged particles can emit light in the form of luminescence or radiation, but this may not be visible to the human eye.


What are the Auroras caused by?

Auroras are caused by charged particles from the sun interacting with Earth's magnetic field. These particles are directed towards the Earth's poles, where they collide with gases in the atmosphere, creating the colorful light displays known as auroras.


Does light come from vibrating charged particles?

Yes, light is produced by accelerating charged particles, such as electrons, within atoms or molecules. When these charged particles change speed or direction, they emit energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation, which includes visible light.


Result of charged particles hitting gas particles?

Light, on most cases.


Is Aurora a natural source of light?

Auroras are not a natural source of light; they are a natural phenomenon that occurs when charged particles from the sun interact with Earth's atmosphere. This interaction produces colorful lights in the sky known as auroras.


Are photons positively charged particles?

No, photons are not positively charged particles. They are neutral particles that make up light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation.


What do the northern lights come from?

The northern lights, or aurora borealis, are caused by the interaction between charged particles from the sun and the Earth's magnetic field. When these charged particles collide with gases in the Earth's atmosphere, they emit light, creating the beautiful display of colors in the sky.
