The "Northern Lights" (or Aurora Borealis) are seen near the North Pole.

The "Southern Lights" (or Aurora Australis) are seen near the South Pole.

When solar flares increase solar wind from the corona what do they cause in earths upper atmosphere?

It increases the number of particles reaching the Earth's upper atmosphere. Normally, Earth's atmosphere and magnetic field block these particles. However, near the North and South poles, the particles can enter Earth's atmosphere, where they create powerful electric currents that cause gas and molecules in the atmosphere to glow. The result is rippling sheets of light in the sky called auroras.1 word for it would be?the aurora borealis

What the affects the angle at which the suns rays hit earth?

The light from the sun travels in a straight line, and we can assume the light rays to be parellel. The angle of incidence on the earths rounded surface depends on where you are on the earth and what time it is. Mid-day on the equator and the rays would hit the ground straight on. Further to the north or south, or later/earlier in the day and the light rays would hit at more of angle. The rays would also have to penitrate more of the earths atmosphere as the angle increases, which takes more `strength` out of the sun.

What are shimmering beams of light that can be seen inthe sky around earths north and south poles called?

Those shimmering beams of light are called auroras. Auroras occur when charged particles from the sun interact with Earth's magnetic field, creating colorful displays of light in the sky near the poles.

Why do scientists think that earths' magnetic field has not always pointed north?

Every 100,000 years or so, the Earths magnetic field shifts direction. North becomes south, south becomes north.
