Answer 1

Auroras form when charged particles from the sun are trapped in the earth's magnetic field, so from above they appear as circular or oval bands.

There are numerous photographs of earth's auroras taken by astronauts, and the Hubble telescope plainly shows them on Jupiter and Saturn. All it takes is the solar wind and a magnetic field (lacking or very weak in Mercury, Venus and Mars, however).

Answer 2

Well you wouldn't see it from space would you? Because it's like a time period where the light hits particals at a specific angle that allows you to see the colors like the sunset and stuff. It's kinda like asking what does the sunset look like from outerspace, I guess. I'm not sure I'm not a professional or anything I'm just an average 8th grader.
