Aurora question
Having just enjoyed the aurora here in central Scotland I have a question.
Does the phenomena always occur at night for some reason or does it occur and go unnoticed during the day too? |

To answer your question Bob I'm pasting a post from "snock" on TWO : "technically local midnight brings the most intense part of the aurora over your location (particles streaming in from the sun will logically gather on the 'lee' side of the Earth from the sun, i.e. midnight) but really it has more to do with the current activity than the time of day, midwinter in Alaska brings 'daytime' auroras but of course it is dark Stu Nock Beckenham, Kent" Regards Sean B |

I've also noticed it happens mostly when it's icy cold too. |

I've also noticed it happens mostly when it's icy cold too. It's probably due to the clear visibilty we get during a polar maritime Bob. Nothing like fresh air really, it's a pity we experience so infrequently. However with the current decrease in "Global dimming" who knows, the only barrier then would be urban light pollution. Oh and not to mention the Methane HydroCarbons released when the Earth is 10C warmer  Regards Sean B |
