How do the northern lights get their color?
The Northern Lights, also known as Aurora Borealis is caused by collisions between electrically charged particles from the sun that enters the earth's atmosphere. The type of gas particles that are colliding result in the variations in color.
What is the ring around the earth?
The atmosphere. Space junk, or space debris, and there are tons of it left behind from countless missions. It causes problems for current missions, since collisions could result in serious damage or death.
Why can you still see craters on the moon even though they were formed by ancient meteor collisions?
Unlike on Earth, the moon has no water, no air, and no plate tectonics; it is geologically dead. As a result, there is nothing to wear away or destroy the craters.
Why does the Sun burn its fuel at the rate that it does?
The sun generates energy through fusion of Hydrogen atoms. If the sun would burn a bit faster, then the released extra energy would make the sun expand a bit. This would reduce the number of fusion - collisions per second between Hydrogen atoms, which would slow down the reaction again. As a result, the reaction takes place at a stable rate
How does an aurora develop?
The aurora borealis (northern lights) form when charged particles emitted from the sun during a solar flare penetrate the earth's magnetic shield and collide with atoms and molecules in our atmosphere. These collisions result in countless little bursts of light, called photons, which make up the aurora.

What was the result of collisions between the early Earth and other, smaller protoplanets?
Many comets in the kuiper belt are the result of?
Collisions between large objects
Simultaneous collisions of billions of gas particles with an object result in?
gas pressure is the result of simultaneous collisions of billions of gas particles with an object
Collisions between oceanic plates and continental plates are thought to result primarily from?
Meteor impacts in the ocean basins
What is the primary function of CSMACD?
Manages the problems that result from collisions
Is it true that about forty percent of collisions result in an injury?
TRUE
Can a manatee die as a result of collisions with boats?
Yes. The effect can be lethal.
Is an increase in gas pressure a result of an increase in molecular collisions?
ture
Are some galaxies very small and have only a few thousand stars?
These small galaxies are believed to be the result of collisions between larger spiral galaxies. During such collisions pieces of the spiral arms get flung out into space, becoming small irregular galaxies.
What plate collisions would most likely result in the formation of the most extensive mountain ranges?
Continental plate to continental plate collisions.
Is the pressure exerted by gas a result of the ideal gas law?
No, pressure is the result of molecular collisions by gas molecules on the walls of a container. The gas laws are merely ways of mathematically quantifying those collisions etc.
Most collisions are caused by what?
Most collisions are a result of excessive speed, driver inattention, following too close, failure to yield the right-of-way, or DUI.
