What is Arora Bariolis? Sorry If the Spellings r not correct.?

Answer 1

AURORA BOREALIS - A luminous atmospheric phenomenon appearing as streamers or bands of light sometimes visible in the night sky in northern or southern regions of the earth. It is thought to be caused by charged particles from the sun entering the earth's magnetic field and stimulating molecules in the atmosphere.
Its a luminous phenomenon of the upper atmosphere that occurs primarily at high latitudes. Auroras in the Northern Hemisphere are called aurora borealis, or northern lights; in the Southern Hemisphere they are called aurora australis, or southern lights. Auroras are caused by the interaction of energetic particles (electrons and protons) from outside the atmosphere with atoms of the upper atmosphere. Such interaction occurs in zones surrounding the Earth's magnetic poles. During periods of intense solar activity, auroras occasionally extend to the middle latitudes.

The Wikipedia definition:

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 named after the Roman goddess of the dawn, Aurora and the greek name for north wind, Boreas 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.

Answer 2

The Aurora Borealis is the other name for what people more commonly call The Northern Lights.

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 named after Roman goddess of the dawn, Aurora, and the Greek name for the North wind, Boreas 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.

Answer 6

The Northern Lights, though they also appear in the Southern Hemisphere, more scientifically, they are solar particles ejected from the sun, that collide with the upper atmosphere. In Canadian Native American Mythology-Folklore (Cree) The Northern Lights are said to be the dancing spirits of the ancestors. So that is the Aurora Borealis in a nutshell.

Answer 7

Northern Lights

Answer 8

Aurora Borealis -also known as the "Northern Lights"

Plasma particles from the sun get trapped in our magnetosphere, and collide with our atmosphere -makes for a beautiful display in the sky, like a rainbow painted on a curtain and then hung up in the dark sky.

visible in winter at northern latitudes

Answer 9

Aurora Borealus is a phenomenon that occurs when high energy particles,given off by the sun come in contact with the strongest points of our earths magnetic field which is near the poles.That is why they take place beyond our atmosphere out in space.Depending on the nature and or composition of the particle striking the magnetic field,you will see different colors ranging from blues and greens to reds and yellows...tom science
