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
You don't often see auroras near the equator because the lights occur above the magnetic poles, so the Northern Lights are more often seen from northern latitudes in Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Northern Europe and Russia, and Alaska in the US. If the aurora is very spectacular it can be seen closer to the equator, but hugely spectacular auroras don't occur very often.
Yes, they are visible from basically anywhere in Alaska where they are not washed out by City Lights. They are often visible from Northern States in the Continental US. During unusually high Solar activity they are visible even further South.
The further North you travel the better chance you will have of seeing them. It is dependant on Solar flares. The closer you are to the North Pole, the better. The Northern Lights can however be seen from a great distance from the North Pole. Northern parts of Europe or Canada would be particularly good, preferably in a rural area, away from light pollution.
The Northern Lights include colors like blue, green, yellow, and all the shades and hughes in between. You can view the lights from the hemispheres because of the separation of flares at those points. You know that, the air is consists of many gases such as nitrogen, oxygen and carbon dioxide and other gases. When harmful particles released by the sun collision with oxygen and nitrogen gas. The results in the production Northern Lights. The Northern Lights in Iceland is so famous all over the world. Recently I had gone to Iceland with my friends. We saw the wonderful lights there. One travel company Go to joy Iceland helped us to travel there.
Alaska does not 'have' northern lights. You can just see them from there, as you can from parts of Canada.

Northern Plains is the part of the US Great Plains located north of the Missouri River in Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska and northeast Kansas.

Iowa is one of the states in the US, it is not in another state. There is a city in the state of Iowa called Iowa City. The capital city in Iowa is Des Moines.
Im from Colorado and no northern lights appear in Colorado, trust me, im pretty sure. Improvement 15 July 2010 - On rare occasion, the sun has released energy (not sure what it is called officially) that has made the northern lights viable as far south as San Diego. I believe it has happened twice in the last 10 years. Also, some nights you can see something that looks similar to the northern lights, but it's just how the light travels through the pollution in the air.
This fact is pretty fun and weird! : IOWA is a state in the northern central US, on the western banks of the Mississippi River and it received it's statehood, Dec. 28, 1846. Thank you
No, they are perfectly safe, even if you were on an airplane near the north pole during such an event, the northern lights are much higher.
No state. Canada is Wisconsin's northern border.
