An Aurora Australis or an Aurora Borealis occurs when streams of particles from the sun's solar winds hit the earth's atmosphere at an angle (as can only happen at the poles). These particles interact with the edges of the earth's magnetic field and when they collide with the gases in the ionosphere, the particles glow creating curtains of blue, green and magenta. An aurora is sometimes accompanied by a crackling sound. The Aurora Australis appears around Antarctica and the Aurora Borealis appears around the Arctic.
What else can I help you with?
Where on earth are you most likely to see auroras in the sky?
The aurora borealis and aurora australis occur in the thermosphere.
What can cause auroras near earth poles?
Auroras near Earth's poles are caused by solar wind particles interacting with the Earth's magnetic field. When these charged particles from the sun collide with atoms and molecules in the Earth's atmosphere, they create light emissions, producing the colorful auroras. The Earth's magnetic field funnels these particles towards the poles, resulting in the concentration of auroras in these regions.
Is most of Africa north or south of the equator?
Africa is mostly north of the equator. About 2/3 of the land area is in the Northern Hemisphere.
What is a country north of the equator south of Europe West of Libya and is mostly covered by the Sahara Desert?
The country that fits this description is Mauritania. It is located in North Africa, south of Europe, west of Libya, and is mostly covered by the Sahara Desert.
Is the Panama Canal north or south of the equator?
The Panama Canal is mostly north of the equator. It extends from about 8 degrees north latitude to 9 degrees north latitude.
When can you see auroras?
In the north and south poles.
Why does earth have two auroras?
Because the Earth has 2 poles. A North and a South.
Do Auroras only show in the north?
No, near the south pole there are lights as well.
Where auroras caused?
Auroras are created at both the North and South magnetic poles.In the north it is called the Aurora Borealis and in the south it's called the Aurora Australis.This is caused by the solar wind interacting with the earth's magnetic field and our atmosphere.in cases of strong solar storms, the Auroras can be seen much farther from the poles.
What is the name of the shimmering beams oh light that can be seen in the sky around Earth's North and south poles are called?
Auroras. Aurora Borealis around the North Pole, and Aurora Australis around the South Pole. It is important to note that auroras have been seen as far south as Florida and Italy; while it is unusual for auroras to be visible in mid-latitudes, it does happen.
Is South America Mostly South or North?
Mostly south of the Tropic of Capricorn.
Is Africa mostly dessert south or north?
north
Why are auroras are seen mostly near the north and south pole?
Auroras occur near the poles because of the interaction between charged particles from the sun and Earth's magnetic field. The magnetic field channels these particles towards the poles, where they collide with gases in the atmosphere, producing the colorful light display known as the aurora.
In the 1800's how did the religion differ in the north and south of America?
The north was mostly Potestant and Quaker (Pennsylvania) while the south was mostly Babtist.
Where can you see Auroras?
The nearer you can get to the north or south magnetic pole, the more likely you are to see them, but they are never guaranteed. You can access forecasts on the internet.
Is Salamis north or south of Athens?
Slightly East but mostly North.
Why are cathedrals in France mostly in the north?
There are cathedrals in the south as well as in the north.
