Auroras occur near the Earth's magnetic poles due to interactions between charged particles from the Sun and the Earth's magnetic field. This restricts aurora sightings to regions near the North and South Poles where the magnetic field lines are closer to the planet's surface.
Auroras can occur during the day or night, but they are typically easier to see at night when it is dark. However, strong solar activity can sometimes create auroras that are visible during the daytime as well.
The constituent particles of the solar wind are trapped by the earth's magnetic field and enter the earth's upper atmosphere as aurora. It is described as aurora borealis in the northern hemisphere.
No, you would not expect to see auroras on the Moon as you do on Earth. Auroras are caused by interactions between the solar wind and a planet's magnetic field and atmosphere, which the Moon lacks. While the Moon does have a very thin exosphere, it does not possess a significant magnetic field to create the conditions necessary for auroras. Therefore, any potential auroral phenomena on the Moon would be vastly different and much less visible than those on Earth.
Auroras are caused by charged solar particles colliding with atoms of oxygen and nitrogen in the ionosphere, which is the highest level of the atmosphere.
The chances of seeing an aurora in your backyard depend on your location. Places closer to the North and South poles have a higher likelihood of experiencing auroras. Additionally, factors like solar activity and clear skies play a role in visibility.

Best place is above the arctic circle in places like Alaska, northen canada, finland.
In the north and south poles.

In fact you get best ones in Russia, Canada, Alaska, Greenland, Finland and so on but you only see Aurora Borealis in Northern Hemisphere, in South Hemisphere get Aurora Australis.
I'm pretty sure that is is color blindness to certain colors which makes it so you can only see certain colors.

Yes, if you are in a local place. You can also do takeout because they have a camera outside and can see if ur coming. They only deliver in certain places.
Definitely! Auroras are generally seen in high latitudes only (about 50 to 90 degrees, both North and South). So people in northern Canada, Alaska, and Greenland can see them.
They can't. they can only see certain colours.
Yes, frequently. The display of the aurora borealis isn't connected to the seasons. However, while auroras often OCCUR during the daytime, the faint light is difficult to SEE against the bright background of the sunlit sky. So we more often see auroras at night. And since auroras are usually high-latitude events, and the summer days are quite long at high latitudes, it makes sense that we will more often see auroras in the long winter nights - because the nights are longer!
