Rome, the capital of Italy, is in the northern hemisphere. You cannot see the Southern Lights from the northern hemisphere.
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.
I believe you can not see southern lights in Australia
They are the same. They simply occur in different hemispheres. The southern lights are less well known because there is less inhabited land around the south pole, where you would see the southern lights
The Southern Lights (Aurora Austrialis) are a sky phenomena, multi-colored shimmering lights, associated with the acceleration of charged particles above the South Magnetic Pole. (see the related question)
The Aurora Australis are the "Southern Lights" They can be seen in the "low" latitudes of the southern hemisphere.

You may be thinking of Aurora Australis -- the southern lights.

No you cannot, because we are in the southern hemisphere, hence the northern name...
Most people who see any of the Auroras (there are Southern Lights as well), are struck by their beauty and majesty. Awestruck sometimes. They are a wonderful sight, blues and greens shimmering and swaying all across the sky, or a red or purple glow like some far off bush fires.
No. One of the better known constellations in the northern hemisphere is the big dipper. People in the southern hemisphere can't see this. In the south the well known constellation is the southern cross, and you can't see this in the northern hemisphere.
ANSWER:Also called aurora australis, it can be seen from the southern parts of Australia & New Zealand and also from Antartica. It is more probable to see aurora australis from Tasmania, rather then any other state in Australia.
The aurora borealis, usually called the northern lights are easiest to see if you are inside the arctic circle. So you would have to go to places such as northern Scandinavia or north Canada to see them. However if there is a strong solar storm they become visible further south. You can usually see the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) from any Polar region. There are also the Southern Lights (Aurora Australis) which can be seen from southern regions. They show in Alaska. You can ocasionally see them from northern US like I did last night
No. What you see there are the Southern Lights, which are caused in the same way, so in effect they are the same thing.Another AnswerThe confusion may be in the names. In the north, these lights are called Aurora Borealis, and in the South, Aurora Australis.
