The Aurora lights are caused by particles thrown out by the sun hitting the earth atmopshere, so they look different because they hit the atmosphere at different points.

Can you find northern lights in the antarctic?

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.


Are Northern lights and aura borialis not the same?

Aurora Borealis and Northern Lights are both names for the same thing.


What is the difference between a Aurora borealis and a Aurora australis?

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


What are the aurora borialis and the aurora australis?

The aurora borealis, also known as the Northern Lights, is a natural light display in the Earth's sky predominantly seen in high-latitude regions in the Northern Hemisphere. The aurora australis, or Southern Lights, is the same phenomenon but seen in the Southern Hemisphere. They are caused by the interaction between solar winds and the Earth's magnetic field.


What fuse is for the license plate light in a 96 Oldsmobile aurora?

Same circuit/fuse as the parking/tail lights.


Are low beam and running lights the same in 2001 aurora?

In a 2001 Aurora, low beam headlights and running lights are not the same. Low beam headlights provide illumination for driving at night or in low visibility conditions, while running lights, also known as daytime running lights, are designed to increase the vehicle's visibility to others during the day. The two systems operate independently and serve different purposes in vehicle lighting.


Does a aurora happen every night in antarctica?

Aurora is not restricted to nighttime. Aurora occurs persistently.It's best visible at night, however, even in Antarctica.Read more about aurora by following the link, below.


Why will 1996 chevs10 tails lights and dash lights will not come on?

These are on the same fuse. Check for a blown fuse.


How is an Aurora borealis different from an Aurora austral is?

The Aurora Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights, occurs in the Northern Hemisphere, while the Aurora Australis, or Southern Lights, takes place in the Southern Hemisphere. Both phenomena are caused by charged particles from the sun interacting with the Earth's magnetic field and atmosphere, resulting in beautiful light displays. The specific colors and shapes of the auroras can vary based on atmospheric conditions, but their fundamental nature is the same, differing only by location.


I have headlights but no dash lights or outside running lights except brake lights at night what seems to be the problem for your 96 Olds Aurora?

Check the fuses. Parking lights/tailights/dash lights should be a common circuit Check the fuses. Parking lights/tailights/dash lights should be a common circuit I had the same problum last year and had to replace the wires.


When do Aurora appears?

Magnetic storms occur on Earth when electrically charged particles from the corona and solar flares are added to the solar wind produced by the corona. When this happens, Earth's atmosphere radiates beautiful light called the aurora borealis or northern lights. This same light is called the aurora australis in the southern hemisphere.


Are the northern lights th same as a rainbow or are they not the same?

Northern lights (Aurora borealis) and rainbows are different phenomena. Northern lights are caused by solar particles interacting with the Earth's atmosphere, creating colorful light displays primarily in polar regions. Rainbows, on the other hand, occur when sunlight is refracted, reflected, and dispersed by water droplets in the atmosphere, creating a spectrum of colors in the sky after rain.
