The northern and southern lights (or auroras) are related to the solar wind, which is a kind of outer space weather, although it bears very little resemblance to weather here on Earth.
Northern Lights (or southern if in the southern hemisphere)Northern lights
They'd be the Southern Lights, not northern.
Yes there are. They are the same phenomenon as the Northern Lights. It happens at both the north pole and south pole. The Northern Lights can be seen in much of the northern hemisphere and the Southern Lights in much of the southern hemisphere.
Aurora australis for Southern, Aurora Borealis for Northern
The arctic tundra gets the northern lights, or aurora borealis. The southern lights, or aurora australis, occur in high southern latitudes.
The dancing lights of the ionosphere are known as auroras. In the Northern Hemisphere they are called the Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights. In the Southern Hemisphere they are known as the Aurora Australialis or Southern Lights.
The aurora borealis night-sky displays are also known as the northern lights, or the northern polar lights.(or the southern (polar) lights, depending on where you live)In the Southern Hemisphere this phenomenon is also known as the aurora australis.
Occasionally, yes. There are Southern Lights in the Antarctic, as well.See the related Wikipedia link(s) listed below for more information:
People do talk about them. You probably live in the northern hemisphere, so the Northern Lights are more relevant there. In the southern hemisphere, people would be talking about the Southern Lights, as that is what they might be able to see. Where they are, they would not be talking about the Northern Lights.
Rome, the capital of Italy, is in the northern hemisphere. You cannot see the Southern Lights from the northern hemisphere.
northern or southern lights
The northern ones are called the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) and the southern ones are called the Southern Lights, or the Aurora Australis.
