Aurora Borealis and Aurora Australis

it happens when sun's particles have a fusion with earth's particles close to earth, only seen in northern and southern poles because of no light pollution and those are also the magnitude poles

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

The Auroras is collision that occurs during the Northern lights when active sun particles hit the earth's atmosphere. Auroras can be seen every year in the north and south pole hemisphere in an array of colors including pink, light green, yellow and blue.

The Northern Lights are called so because they are predominantly seen in the northern hemisphere, such as in countries like Norway, Finland, and Canada. The scientific term for Northern Lights is "Aurora Borealis."

Auroras occur mainly near the Earth's polar regions, known as the auroral ovals. In the Northern Hemisphere, they are called the Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis, while in the Southern Hemisphere, they are known as the Southern Lights or Aurora Australis. These natural light displays are caused by interactions between solar winds and the Earth's magnetic field.

The Northern Lights, also known as Aurora Borealis is caused by collisions between electrically charged particles from the sun that enters the earth's atmosphere. The type of gas particles that are colliding result in the variations in color.

The Northern Lights, also known as Aurora Borealis, can be seen in countries located close to the Arctic Circle, such as Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, Canada, and Alaska in the United States. These countries offer some of the best viewing opportunities for this natural phenomenon.

The southern lights are called the Aurora Australis. They are the southern hemisphere counterpart to the northern lights, known as the Aurora Borealis. Both are natural light displays caused by the interaction of solar particles with the Earth's atmosphere.

Northern lights is the name of a light phenomenon often seen in the northern regions. The lights have been around since Earth formed an atmosphere -the dinosaurs saw it, early humans saw it and our descendants will se it. The scientific name for the phenomenon is "Aurora Borealis", aurora for short.

The Northern Lights include colors like blue, green, yellow, and all the shades and hughes in between. You can view the lights from the hemispheres because of the separation of flares at those points. You know that, the air is consists of many gases such as nitrogen, oxygen and carbon dioxide and other gases. When harmful particles released by the sun collision with oxygen and nitrogen gas. The results in the production Northern Lights. The Northern Lights in Iceland is so famous all over the world. Recently I had gone to Iceland with my friends. We saw the wonderful lights there. One travel company Go to joy Iceland helped us to travel there.

The best countries to see the Aurora Borealis are Iceland, Norway, Finland, and Sweden. These countries are located in the auroral oval, which increases the likelihood of seeing the Northern Lights. Each country also offers unique landscapes and experiences to enhance the Aurora viewing.

The mesosphere is the third layer of Earth's atmosphere, located above the stratosphere and below the thermosphere. It is characterized by extremely low temperatures and is where most meteorites burn up upon entering the atmosphere. The mesosphere also contains the coldest temperatures in the atmosphere, reaching as low as -90 degrees Celsius.

Northern lights, or auroras, occur at the North Pole (and South Pole) due to interactions between solar wind and the Earth's magnetosphere. Solar wind particles are funneled towards the poles by Earth's magnetic field, where they collide with gas molecules in the upper atmosphere, producing the colorful light display known as auroras.

The aurora borealis, usually called the northern lights are easiest to see if you are inside the arctic circle. So you would have to go to places such as northern Scandinavia or north Canada to see them.

However if there is a strong solar storm they become visible further south.

You can usually see the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) from any Polar region. There are also the Southern Lights (Aurora Australis) which can be seen from southern regions.

They show in Alaska.

You can ocasionally see them from northern US like I did last night

The further North you travel the better chance you will have of seeing them. It is dependant on Solar flares. The closer you are to the North Pole, the better. The Northern Lights can however be seen from a great distance from the North Pole. Northern parts of Europe or Canada would be particularly good, preferably in a rural area, away from light pollution.

The Northern Lights occur year round but are only visible when nights are dark. In the locations in which they are best seen, Alaska, Canada, Norway and Finland, they are usually seen from September through April when the nights are long and dark.

The southern lights, or aurora australis, are produced when charged particles from the sun interact with the Earth's magnetosphere. This phenomenon is not produced by a specific sphere of Earth, but rather by interactions between the sun, Earth's magnetic field, and the upper atmosphere.

VIKINGS referred to them as reflections from dead maidens.

SCOTS called the Northern Lights "Heavenly Dancers" or "Merry Dancers." "Merry Dancers" were supernatural beings warring in the heavens, and the battle is for the favour of a beautiful woman.

NATIVE AMERICANS perceived the northern lights as gods dancing above the sky. It was also a common belief that the northern lights were a gathering of medicine men and warriors in the land of far North. They held great feasts and prepared their fallen foes in huge cooking pots.

ESKIMOS IN GREENLAND thought it was the realm of the dead, and when the lights changed rapidly, it meant that dead friends were trying to contact their living relatives.

NATIVE AMERICANS believed that they could conjured up ghosts and spirits by whistling to the lights. It was a common belief that the northern lights were the reflections in the sky of huge fires in the distant north, or that the might God Himself lightened up the dark and cold parts of the world.

DENMARK & SWEDEN thought the northern lights were and active volcano in the north, placed there by the Creator to provide light and warmth in those cold, murky regions.

DANISH thought the lights were due to a throng of swans flying so far to the north that they were caught in the ice. Each time they flapped their wings they created reflections which created the northern lights.

ANCIENT TIMES most people were afraid of the lights. Children would be brought inside when the mystifying flames of the auroras spread across the heavens, for the lights could descend and cut their heads off. Thus, in many places northern lights were a threat to people's lives and health. Nordic countries thought the northern lights were a vengeful force which killed those who mocked it. The mythological role of the aurora was important in religion. Many believed it a message from the creator. Flaming auroras reminded people that their creator still cared for them. An old tale from the Nordic countries said that, "God is angry when the aurora flames." It was a common interpretation during medieval times that northern lights were an omen of war, or disasters or plagues.

ROMANS believe "Aurora" was the goddess of the dawn. Many cultural groups thought of them as harbingers of war or famine.

MAORI OF NEW ZEALAND shared a belief with many northern people of Europe and North America that the Southern Lights were reflections from torches or campfires.

MENOMINEE INDIANS OF WISCONSIN believed the lights indicated the location of manabai'wok (giants) who were the spirits of great hunters and fishermen.

INUIT OF ALASKA believed the lights were the spirits of animals they hunted: seals, salmon, deer and beluga whales.

OTHER ABORIGINAL PEOPLE believed that the lights were the spirits of their people.

CHINESE believed that the northern lights were fighting dragons (good/evil).

(If you can ever afford to go and see the Northern Lights it's worth every cent. I lived up North in British Columbia and often watched them for hours. Each night you watched different dancing colors and they are magical.)

The Northern Lights, also known as the Aurora Borealis, occur in the Earth's polar regions, typically closer to the North Pole in the Northern Hemisphere. They are caused by the interaction between charged particles from the sun and the Earth's magnetic field.

The southernmost recorded sighting of the northern lights (aurora borealis) was in the state of Georgia, USA, in 1859. This rare event was caused by a strong geomagnetic storm that extended the visibility of the aurora to lower latitudes than usual.

Northern lights or auroras can be seen in the thermosphere and exosphere sublayers of the Earth's atmosphere. These beautiful light displays are caused by the interaction of solar wind particles with the Earth's magnetic field, resulting in stunning colors dancing across the sky near the polar regions.

The sun is constantly releasing charged particles out into space (electrons, protons, etc). This is known as the Solar Wind.

Occasionally, a solar flare or coronal mass ejection releases a significant quantity of these particles (millions or even billions of tons of them).

When they impact the Earth's magnetic field, they can cause the magnetic field lines to break and reconnect, which causes the charged particles to rush towards the poles.

When these particles hit the upper atmosphere, they react with the atoms and molecules of the air and cause them to glow with the characteristic colours associated with the aurora.

Aurora itself doesn't affect earth, but solar-storm is known to break satellites and interrupt radio waves and other electrical devices. Our magnetic field does great job for taking care of earth and protect it from solar-winds :).
