The Northern Lights would appear directly overhead across that arc, however, since the auroras occur at least 80 kilometres above the ground, it would be easily seen farther south, with observers around the Gulf of Mexico seeing them on the northern horizon. (CIMSS...
Solar Cycle 25 (the25th since 1755, when regular daily records of sunspots began), would reach its maximum in July 2025. The error bars mean the actual peak — which is measured as the number of sunspots in a calendar month — could occur between November 2024 and ...
Several things need to align for the skies over the UK to dazzle again. Any solar eruptions that do occur need to be aimed at Earth and cause a strong geomagnetic storm. It also needs to be dark enough with settled weather allowing clear skies...
Why are northern lights that appear at low latitudes red? Two reasons: One, the red occurs at higher altitudes and can thus be seen further away from the poles: sometimes all you see is the upper edge of the red peeking over the horizon. Secondly, during very large storms, there is ano...
The Aurora Borealis and Aurora Australis (the Northern and Southern Lights) occur in this layer. TheMagnetosphereis the upper part of the ionosphere, extending out to 64,000 km (40,000 miles.) It protects us from the high energy, electrically charged particles of the solar wind, which are ...
WHERE & WHY WINTER STORMS OCCUR Winter storms are generated, as are many of the thunderstorms of summer, from disturbances along the boundary between cold polar and warm tropical air masses—the fronts where air masses of different temperatures and densities wage their perpetual war of instability ...
Fortunately, there are a few simple things you can do to improve your chances of getting a good night’s sleep. They cost nothing or very little and require just a small bit of pre-bedtime planning. Here are some tips for getting a good night sleep despite the t...
Why do power companies use low currents in power lines when transferring electrical energy over large distances? Why do the tides occur on both sides of the earth not just closer to the moon? Explain why the waves of shorter wavelengths "bend" more. Why in de...
Question: Birds are often seen to swell their feathers in winters. Why? Warming in Birds: Animals have features as well as habits that help them adapt to the climate. One of the main basis of adaption is homeostasis in heat energy; particularly making sure that in summers the heat does...
l am sorry to say that those growers have copied the business model of growers in my country (i.e. lighten up greenhouses with 1000 watt lamps, do not shield the lights, wait and see if anyone complains, then shield as less as possible, if the electricity costs become unbearable swap ...
