Auroras - Science - Gr 6C

Why are auroras formed?

• Because of ice particles

• Because of the least amount of sunlight hitting the poles

• Because of the magnetic field

• Because of scattering

How are Auroras formed?

• When light hits ice particles in the sky

• When the magnetic field interacts with solar wind, charged particles, and gases.

• When dim light scatters

Auroras are formed because of the magnetic field, _____ ____, charged particles, and gases.

Are auroras formed only in specific places? Why?

• No, because auroras need only light and scattering.

• No, because auroras need only light and ice particles

• Yes, as auroras are only formed in places which receive least amount of sunlight.

• Yes, because the charged particles can only flow through the magnetic field and land on/in the poles

Which places are auroras most sighted in?

• On the poles, mostly in the Artic and Antarctic.

• In Northern Europe and Southern Australia.

• In cold regions such as Canada and Greenland.
