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.
What else can I help you with?
How does the aurora borealis relate to the structure of an atom?
The aurora borealis is caused by charged particles from the sun interacting with gases in the Earth's atmosphere. This interaction energizes the gases, causing them to emit light. Similarly, the structure of an atom involves charged particles (protons, neutrons, electrons) interacting to create energy levels and emission of light when electrons move between these energy levels.
What is formed by solar protons and electrons traveling along earth's magnetic line?
Solar protons and electrons traveling along Earth's magnetic field can lead to the formation of the auroras, specifically the aurora borealis (northern lights) and aurora australis (southern lights). When these charged particles collide with gases in Earth's atmosphere, they emit light in the form of these beautiful natural light displays.
Why is electrons the first part of the atom discovered?
cause
What does heat cause atoms to do?
it causes the atoms to lose their negative electrons
Where can the Aurora Borealis be found?
The aurora is a glow observed in the night sky, usually in the polar zone. For this reason some scientists call it a "polar aurora" (or "aurora polaris"). In northern latitudes, it is known as "aurora borealis" which is Latin for "northern dawn" since in Europe especially, it often appears as a reddish glow on the northern horizon as if the sun were rising from an unusual direction. The aurora borealis is also called the "northern lights". The aurora borealis most often occurs from September to October and March to April. Its southern counterpart, "aurora australis", has similar properties. The cause of the aurora is charged particles from the solar wind, accelerated by the Earth's magnetic field, colliding with atoms in the upper atmosphere causing them to glow as they release their surplus energy.
The aurora boreails is caused by the?
When charged particles from the sun strike atoms in Earth's atmosphere, they cause electrons in the atoms to move to a higher-energy state. When the electrons drop back to a lower energy state, they release a photon: light. This process creates the beautiful aurora, or northern lights.
What is a black aurora?
A black aurora is a type of aurora that exists at the top of the ionosphere, where electrons flow upward into space (unlike normal aurora, which involve downward flowing electrons), leaving deep cavities in the atmosphere, making blank spaces when regular aurora are seen, hence being "black" or non-luminous, but having the shape of aurora.
Why are there aurora lights in Antarctica?
Aurora are a polar phenomenon, and Antarctica is where you'll find the South Pole. From Google Results: "When charged particles from the sun strike atoms in Earth's atmosphere, they cause electrons in the atoms to move to a higher-energy state. When the electrons drop back to a lower energy state, they release a photon: light. This process creates the beautiful aurora, or northern lights"
Do streams of protons and electrons cause the Aurora Borealis?
Yes, streams of protons and electrons from the sun interact with Earth's magnetic field to create the Aurora Borealis. When these charged particles collide with atoms in the Earth's atmosphere, they produce colorful light displays in the polar regions.
Why don't we see aurora on the moon?
An aurora occurs when charged particles of the sun excite the electrons of atoms in Earth's atmosphere. The moon does not have an atmosphere.
What can cause an aurora borealis?
sunlight in the sun
Are Auroras a cause of light pollution?
No, the Aurora is a result of space weather.
What does the magnetic field of earth cause?
Among other things the aurora.
What does the resistance of the flow of electrons cause?
it cause no electricity because of the resistance but.... if your question was..... "the caused by the flow of electrons" then the answer well be ( it cause electricity )
What causes 4.0 Oldsmobile aurora to run rich?
A leaking fuel pressure regulator is the most common cause for a rich condition on the Olds Aurora 4.0L V8. -------------------------
What does the behavior of electrons cause?
Electricity.
In which layer of the atmosphere are the ionized particles that cause the aurora borealis?
The ionized particles that cause the aurora borealis are found in the thermosphere, which is located approximately 80-550 km above the Earth's surface. When these charged particles from the sun interact with gases in the thermosphere, it creates the colorful light display known as the aurora borealis.
