Only planets that have an active iron core. Only planets with a magnetic field
In addition to Earth, other planets with magnetic fields like Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune have been known to have visible auroras. These auroras are caused by charged particles from the Sun interacting with the planets' magnetic fields, creating spectacular light displays in their atmospheres.
Yes, you can see the Northern Lights from Quebec, especially in the northern regions of the province where there is less light pollution. The best chances of seeing the Northern Lights are during the fall and winter months when the nights are longer and darker.
What is the reason that life is less likely on the outermost planets compared to the innermost planets
The northern lights don't happen on a fixed schedule; we generally can't predict when they are likely to occur. However, the great-circle route from Denver to London does cross some pretty high latitudes, so there's a good chance that they will be visible.
It isn't necessarily affected by seasons, because it is caused by unpredictable solar winds... but in the north, they are more likely in the summer, because the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, but can occur year round.

The likely word is the Latin term borealis (northern), used for the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis).
in the Northern part of Canada where they are the most prevalent since they reflect from the North pole
As the northern lights are a commonly occurring phenomena, it's likely the very first Inuit people were the discoverers of the Northern Lights. This could have been anywhere around the 8th-11th century. It got a lot of attention in the late 18th century when Benjamin Franklin hypothesised as to what caused them
Well the arctic lowlands are very cold and have northern lights in it so the most likely thing to attract people to the arctic lowlands are the northern lights,and maybe to exepernce ski-dooing!
You don't often see auroras near the equator because the lights occur above the magnetic poles, so the Northern Lights are more often seen from northern latitudes in Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Northern Europe and Russia, and Alaska in the US. If the aurora is very spectacular it can be seen closer to the equator, but hugely spectacular auroras don't occur very often.
Occasionally when solar activity is extremely intense, the Northern Lights may be visible in the state of Washington - the further north and east in the state, the more likely. Solar energy peaks about every 11 years so that's about how often there is a chance of seeing the Northern lights in Washington - but its still rare; it has to be a more energetic peak solar year than normal for the northern lights to stray that far south.

During darkness hours. Cyclists are less visable in the dark.

If the lights are moving, it is most likely they are planes. If the lights are not moving, it is most likely they are stars.
