If you are looking up at the aurora borealis while you are walking, it would be possible for you to stub your toe on a rock. Otherwise, no. The Aurora Borealis works exactly the same as a fluorescent light; electrical currents running through the near-vacuum of the ionosphere. Except prettier.
The northern lights, or aurora borealis, is fascinating. happy?
The Aurora Borealis is in the northen hemisphere at the north pole. However the Aurora Australis is in the southern hemisphere at the south pole. That is the only difference in them; they are both formed in the same way. They are both polar lights. One is the Aurora Borealis, the northern lights and the Aurora Australis, the southern lights. They are on the different poles on the earth, other than that, they are the same. Borealis is near the North Pole. Australis is near the South pole. The Aurora Borealis is at the north magnetic pole: the Aurora Australis is at the south magnetic pole. That's the only difference. They are both really the same thing but are visible from different places in the world. The aurora borealis can be seen in Northern England and in Scotland sometime, normally in summer and spring. The aurora austalis can be seen from places like Australia and New Zealand. Another difference is that the aurora borealis are brighter that the aurora austalis
It is because of the high altitude and usually clear skies since it is so close to the north pole. However, the Aurora Borealis is not seen every night. +++ It is not seen only from Alaska and Canada, and you mean latitude, not altitude. The A. Borealis (Northern Lights) is visible right round the world at high latitudes. Similarly with A. Australis (Southern Lights). The aurora are visible from high latitudes, North or South, because they form around the Earth's magnetic poles, which are fairly close to the axis Poles; not because the air is clear (although that will help!) They come and go depending on the vagaries of the streams of charged-particles emitted by the Sun, as their light is a result of the particles' reaction with the Earth's upper atmosphere and magnetic field.
Solar Radiation --answer-- Solar radiation - consisting mainly of electrons and protons and other particles - interacts wit the Earth's magnetic field, generally in the polar regions (north and south) where the field is strongest.

Aurora Borealis occurs in northern parts of the world. Aurora Australis in southern parts of the world. Borealis is more known because there are more places and people to see them.

The Aurora Borealis has different names in different parts of the world. In Southern latitudes, it's referred to as The Southern Lights, or Aurora Australis. North of the equator, it's referred to as the Northern Lights. The term Aurora Borealis comes from the Greek name for the north wind - Boreas and Aurora - the Roman goddess of dawn. In the Middle Ages, the lights were believed to be messages from God. And the Cree (Native Americans), called it the Dance of the Spirits.
Normally near the poles of the Earth but sometimes with really bad sun flares, all around the world!!
Aurora Borealis.
Yes, absolutely it does. I live in Manitoba and Aurora Borealis is very common here. You can see them a whole lot in Churchill, Manitoba. Churchill is located on Hudsons Bay and is one of the most famous cities for Aurora Borealis in the whole world. Churchill is also very popular for its amazing vast scenery and polar bears.
Anders Celsius took part of an expedition to verify Isaac Newton's theory that the world was not actually a perfect sphere. He and his assistant discovered that the aurora borealis influenced compass needles.
