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.


What kind of energy powers your light and appliances?

Usually - but not always - electricity powers our lights and appliances.


When was the first sighting of the northern lights?

The first recorded sighting of the northern lights dates back to ancient times. It is believed that indigenous peoples in the Arctic regions, such as the Inuit and Sami, have been witnessing the phenomenon for thousands of years.


Can leaving lights on when they are not in use be a cause of global warming?

Yes. Leaving lights turned on when not in use does contribute to greenhouse gas emissions and therefore to global warming. A good rule of thumb is that household appliances consume electricity and therefore contribute to global warming in proportion to the amount of heat they produce. Incandescent light globes work by heating a wire filament until it glows white hot, so they are obviously very heavy users of electricity. However, there are other things we can do other than just turning off lights all the time. Replacing these by modern high-efficiency, low energy lights uses a fraction of the electricity and therefore contributes only a fraction of the carbon emissions that lead to global warming. With high-efficiency, low energy lights we need be less concerned about leaving lights on for a few minutes, and get on with enjoying life.


Why is it important to conserve lights?

Conserving lights helps reduce energy consumption and lower electricity bills. It also helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change. Ultimately, conserving lights contributes to a more sustainable and environmentally-friendly lifestyle.

In polar regions ions radiate radiate energy as shimmering lights called?

Aurora borealis; the Northern Lights.


In polar regions ions radiate energy are shimmering ligts called?

In polar regions, ions radiate energy that creates shimmering lights called auroras. These auroras are a natural phenomenon caused by interactions between charged particles from the sun and the Earth's atmosphere. The lights can appear in different colors such as green, red, or purple, depending on the type of particles involved.

What are the Southern Lights?

How do Motion Sensing Lights Work?

Motion sensing lights use a passive system that detects infrared energy. These sensors are known as PIR (passive infrared) detectors or pyroelectric sensors. Human skin averages to be 93 degrees F, which radiates infrared energy in a wavelength that is between 9 and 10 micrometers. The sensors dectect quick movement of objects that radiate between 8 to 12 micrometers of infrared energy.


The aurora borealis is caused by the what which is a part of the thermosphere.?

The aurora borealis, also known as the northern lights, is caused by the interaction between charged particles from the solar wind and the Earth's magnetic field and atmosphere. These particles collide with gases in the thermosphere, such as oxygen and nitrogen, causing them to emit light in various colors. The resulting displays of shimmering, dynamic lights are most commonly observed in polar regions.
