In the atmosphere Auroras usually occur in the ionosphere(the highest part of the atmosphere, between the thermosphere and the exosphere. The ionosphere gets its name because it is ionized by solar radiation.).
We typically see auroras only in high-latitude areas above about 50 degrees (north or south). However, during intense periods of solar activity, it's occasionally possible to see auroras even from close to the equator.
Aurora Borealis (The Northern Lights) can be seen in the Northern Hemisphere (Siberia, Northern Russia, Northern Europe, Iceland, Greenland, Canada and the US (Alaska)).
Aurora Australis (The Southern Lights) can be seen in the Southern Hemisphere (the southern parts of Australia, New Zealand, South America, South Africa and Antarctica).
When the solar storms are especially severe the auroras can be seen at greater distances from the poles than usual.

What region of the atmosphere where auroras occur?
They occur the northern atmospheres. Closer to the magnetic poles where the solar storms hit the earth the hardest.
Where do Auroras occur?
They occur in the Mesosphere.
When does the Auroras occur?
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.
What layer do Auroras occur in?
The Mesosphere
Auroras are caused by what hitting the atmosphere?
Auroras are caused by charged solar particles colliding with atoms of oxygen and nitrogen in the ionosphere, which is the highest level of the atmosphere.
Which atmosphere do auroras occur in?
Ionosphere of Near northern hemisphere polar regions
What region of the atmosphere where auroras occur?
They occur the northern atmospheres. Closer to the magnetic poles where the solar storms hit the earth the hardest.
How do Auroras develop?
Auroras occur in the mesospere.
What happens when particles from the solar wind enter the upper atmosphere?
I do not know for sure but I think that auroras would occur.
Where do Auroras occur?
They occur in the Mesosphere.
Does Mercury have Auroras?
No, it has no atmosphere.
How big are Auroras?
Auroras have no definite size. They occur when charged particles from the Sun ionize particles in the upper atmosphere as they spiral in toward Earth's magnetic field. Auroras may be localized in one area, or may extend from horizon to horizon in the sky.
When does the Auroras occur?
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.
What layer of atmosphere has the auroras?
The troposphere
What layer do Auroras occur in?
The Mesosphere
When do auroras occur most frequently?
Auroras occur most frequently during the mostintense phase of the 11-year sunspot cycle.
Auroras are caused by what hitting the atmosphere?
Auroras are caused by charged solar particles colliding with atoms of oxygen and nitrogen in the ionosphere, which is the highest level of the atmosphere.
