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.

Spectacular aurora, or northern lights, seen by Colin Chatfield in Saskatchewan, Canada. Bottom line: When charged particles from the sun strike atoms in Earth's atmosphere, they cause electrons in the atoms to move to a higher-energy state.
A weeping angel is a statue of an angel crying found in Doctor Who. It can come closer and move when no one is looking. They can also turn out the lights.
The moon comes closer to the earth because its orbit is not a perfect circle. So there are times when it is slightly closer to the earth than others.

It is Latin for "northern lights".
'I went to the Northern Lights' was all I could come up with, except I don't think that is right. The reason for this is that 'Northern Lights' is a phrase so it doesn't count as one word.
The hemispheres are named based on the Earth's axis of rotation and its division into two halves - North and South. The Northern Hemisphere is located north of the equator, while the Southern Hemisphere is located south of the equator. This division helps in referencing locations and understanding global geography.
The Southern (or Northern) Lights are caused by particles ejected from the sun by solar flares, getting trapped in the ionosphere and radiating. They happen all the time, but the conditions have to be right for them to be visible.

No. It is down to activity on the Sun, which is unpredictable. When there is unusual activity on the surface of the sun that is seen by astronomers, they can predict that the Northern Lights will be visible in a few days after that. That can happen at any time. There is no pattern in terms of when it can happen. Most of the time the required activity is not happening on the sun, so the Northern Lights don't appear at all.

The Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) is a belt of low pressure that circles the Earth near the equator, where trade winds from the Northern and Southern Hemispheres come together. It moves seasonally, following the sun's zenith, so it can be found predominantly over the oceans but can also be present over land near the equator.
The dictionary defines equator as: a great circle of the earth or a celestial body that is everywhere equally distant from the two poles and divides the surface into the northern and southern hemispheres Equator come from Middle English, from Medieval Latin aequator, literally, equalizer, from Latin aequare So it is called the equator because it is a line that divides the earth into two.
