The Aurorae Borealis/Australis (the Northern and Southern Lights) are caused by the bending of Earth's magnetic fields at the North and South Magnetic Poles which permits solar wind to enter the atmosphere and interact with atmospheric gasses. Thus, the only way that the Aurorae would be visible at the Equator is if a) the entire magnetic field suddenly lapsed or b) a point within the tropics suddenly became a North/South Magnetic Pole.

When can you see the next Aurora borealis?
Unfortunately, auroras don't occur on a schedule. Aurora borealis are generally associated with coronal mass ejections from the Sun. They are normally visible in northern latitudes above about 40 degrees north, so Canada and the northern US are the best observing locations, plus northern Europe, Iceland, and the northern parts of Russia and Siberia. You can often get a 1-2 day advance notice on spaceweather.com.
What are the bright lights next to the moon?
The bright lights next to the moon could be planets such as Venus or Jupiter, or even stars. Planets tend to appear brighter than stars and have a steady, non-twinkling light. The specific location and time of observation can help identify which celestial bodies are next to the moon.
When is the next time you will be able to see a comet?
The next visible comet that is expected to be visible to the naked eye is Comet Leonard in late 2021.
What time af year can cygnus be seen?
it can be seen during the next year around
How does the northern lights work?
This occures when when highly charged electrons from the solar wind interact with elements in the earth's atmosphere. Solar winds stream away from the sun at speeds of about 1 million miles per hour. When they reach the earth, some 40 hours after leaving the sun, they follow the lines of magnetic force generated by the earth's core and flow through the magnetosphere, a teardrop-shaped area of highly charged electrical and magnetic fields. The color of the aurora depends on which atom is struck, and the altitude of the meeting.Green - oxygen, up to 150 miles in altitudeRed - oxygen, above 150 miles in altitudeBlue - nitrogen, up to 60 miles in altitudePurple/violet - nitrogen, above 60 miles in altitudeIf they're combined this means this means that there are all different kinds of altitude and nitrogen/oxygen mix. They go on an 11 year cycle and the next predited time is in 2011 or 2012, which is this year or next year. This is what I learned on my trip to Alaska for my 16th birthday. I hope that this can help. :)
What is Taylor Lautner's next movie?
Northern Lights (2011)
Is the equator next to Guyana?
The equator is just south of the country of Guyana.
Can light be predicted?
Yes, the next time the Northern Lights will have a peak of activity will be in the Winter of 2012, and early 2013
Does the suns light have anything to do with the northern lights?
Yes, most definetly. The higher sunspot activety on the sun, the more northern lights. The ions that gives energy to the gas molecules in the atmosphere, which again produce northern lights comes with the sun waves (radiation) from the sun. the next sunspot high OS expected to be in 2013, so this will be a excellent year to see northern lights.
Is Connecticut closer to the equator than northern Argentina or southern Spain?
Connecticut is slightly more than 41° north of the equator, the same as central Spain. But the closest of the three points is on the equator, due south of Connecticut (near Lerida, Colombia). Next would be Spain, followed by Argentina.
When was the aurora borealis seen in west Virginia?
When I was attending college in Athens, West Virginia (Concord College) I witness the Northern Lights one evening when returning to my dorm. It was awesome - like a curtain of light that had fluency and many colors. The next day my physics professor said there was a phenomenon the night before and the Northern Lights were visible in West Virginia.
What area in the world is called the tropics?
the areas that are next to or on the equator.
How many reversing lights on a vw eos?
There are two backup lights next to the red tail lights.
Is a city located 120 degrees E next to the east of the prime meridian or equator?
A city located at 120 degrees E is next to the east of the Prime Meridian but not necessarily next to the Equator. The Equator is at 0 degrees latitude, so the city's latitude would determine if it is close to the Equator.
How do you spell equator?
No, it is a common noun. **** If referring to THE EQUATOR, then YES. THE EQUATOR is a proper noun. ****
In a 2000 Malibu while installing trailer lights the tail lights and instrument panel lights quit working Brake blinker... all other lights working Fuses seem good What do I check next?
Check the park lamp relay. It is probably next to the fuse.
How do you replace the rear side bulbs in a Shogun Pinin?
To change your rear tail lights on your Shogun Pinin you will need to open the back hatch. After you open the hatch you will see panels next to where the lights are. You remove those panels and you will see your light bulbs and be able to replace them.
