Is it true that magnetic storms cause auroras?
Yes. An encyclopedia article states that geomagnetic storms cause auroras, and a peer-reviewed paper plus a historical account describe auroras occurring during great magnetic storms. A dated 1897 text only questions whether all magnetic storms cause auroras.
