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.

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?

How come the moon reflects the suns light and things on earth dont reflect the suns light?
