Which solar feature or activity produces auroras also called the northern and southern lights?

Solar flares


How do sunspots prominences solar flares and solar winds contribute to the northern light?

Sunspots are areas of intense magnetic activity on the sun's surface that can lead to solar flares, which are bursts of energy. When solar flares interact with the Earth's atmosphere, they can cause disturbances in the magnetosphere, leading to the northern lights, also known as auroras. Solar winds, which are streams of charged particles released by the sun, can intensify the effect of these disturbances and contribute to the visibility and frequency of the northern lights.


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 activity can trigger northern lights?

Sunspots and solar flares push out charged particles into space. These stream out and some, attracted by the earth's magnetic poles, collide with oxygen and nitrogen atoms in the ionosphere and produce light. These are the triggers for the Northern and Southern Lights.


Do you notice when solar flares happen?

If you are in the right place, you know that big solar flares have happened, because you see the results of the energized particles striking Earth and being channeled into the north pole and south pole. These results are called the Northern Lights, although they occur at the South pole too.


What effects can solar flares have on Earth directly?

Solar flares can cause interference with electronic equipment (like cell phones) and because we have magnetic poles, the radiative particles that do make it to the atmoshpere become the northern lights.


Can the northern lights pose any danger to human life?

Yes, the northern lights do not pose any direct danger to human life. However, strong solar flares that cause intense auroras can potentially disrupt satellite communications and power grids, leading to indirect risks.


What are northern light how do they form?

The Northern Lights are also called the Aurora Borealis. The Northern Lights is the effect of magnetic reactions. The Northern Lights are best seen in the North Pole and the South Pole. The sun gives off energy particles that is also called solar wind. The solar particles travel hundreds of miles in seconds. When the solar particles get close to earth they collide into the atmosphere and explodes. When millions of these explosions happen they create light. That light is called the Northern Lights or the Aurora Borealis.

Are the northern lights anything to do with the solar system?

What are the Particles of plasma flowing out from our sun create the northern lights?

The particles are electrons and protons from the solar wind that interact with Earth's magnetic field and atmosphere to create the northern lights (aurora borealis). When these charged particles collide with Earth's atmosphere, they give off light, producing the colorful displays we see in the night sky.
