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.
What else can I help you with?
What occurs when the suns most direct rays hit the equator and the day experiences equal amounts of light and dark?
This event is known as the equinox. During the equinox, the Earth's axis is not tilted towards or away from the Sun, resulting in nearly equal amounts of daylight and darkness across the planet. It marks the official start of spring in the Northern Hemisphere and autumn in the Southern Hemisphere.
What causes a shadow?
Light travels in straight lines. A shadow is caused when light beams hit an object and bounce off, preventing the light beams from passing through and hitting the ground on the other side. So when you, for example stand in the sun and the suns rays hit you, the light reflects off you and goes the other way. so behind you no light falls from the direct rays of the sun, so it is dark. The area around your shadow is where the light is hitting and reflecting, so technically speaking there is shadow under them, which is why we associate the ground with being dark. no light.
You can see the moon at night because?
The Moon reflects the Suns' light, ergo: making you able to see the Moon.
Describe the position of the earth in relation to the sun in the winter and summer for the Northern Hemisphere?
The earth's axis of rotation is tilted relative to the Sun by about 23 degrees. As the earth circles the sun, spinning, the tilted axis keeps pointing to the same spot... roughly toward the star Polaris.During summer, the north pole is pointing 23 degrees toward the Sun... this means that the Sun is higher in the sky in the temperate latitudes, and the Suns rays are concentrated on a smaller area of lang.During winter the pole is tilted 23 degrees AWAY form the Sun, and the SUn is lower in the sky, and its light is therefore spread over a much larger area from a lower angle.In summer the energy input for the sun is high, in winter it is very low.
Before the suns ray can reach earth surface they have topass through the?
Earth's atmosphere, which consists of different layers such as the troposphere, stratosphere, and mesosphere. As sunlight passes through these layers, it is filtered and scattered, with some of the light being absorbed by gases and particles in the atmosphere. This process can affect the color and intensity of the sunlight reaching the Earth's surface.
What is the suns lightsphere?
What is a "lightsphere?" Is it anything like a mispronounced "light-year?"
What evidence is there on earth having a magnetic field?
To start if we didnt have a magnetic field we would be fried by the suns radiation. The northern lights are evidence that we have a magnetic field surrounding earth.
When did the northen lights start?
the aurora borealis starts on our nearest star, the sun .on the sun, extremly hot gas particles are very exited. they create a state of matter, called plasma.this plasma escapes the suns corona, or atmophere.
which of the suns layers releases visible lights?
The Photosphere
What does the suns heat and light come from?
the suns heat light and energy comes from the core of the sun and travels trough space
How does sun power keep coming?
The suns power comes from reactions on its surface. These then carry solar rays throughout the solar system which power, heat and light our planet. The O-zone layer protects us from these rays by weakening them. The southern and northern lights are examples of the suns solar flares passing our magnetic field. These rays however could cause dangerous levels of radiation if our O-zone fell.
How the planets emitting light?
They are actually reflecting the suns light
What is the name for light from other suns?
starshine
When the suns light is blocked is called?
An eclipse
What is the name of the suns sphere of light?
The photosphere.
What is the burst of light on the Suns surface?
A solar flare.
Which of the suns layers releases visble light?
photosphere
