Where can you see the northern lights in the United States?

The one state where you can see the Northern Lights easily is Alaska. On very rare occasion, the Northern Lights can be seen as far south as St. Louis, but generally speaking, it is unusual to see them much south of Central Canada. I live in southern Michigan, am in my 60s, and I have seen the Northern Lights here exactly twice in my life. That depends on the space weather affecting our planet. This changes the latitude at which the lights may be seen and therefore the states it can be seen from.

Yes and No. Northern lights are seen in the north, the same phenomenon (Southern Lights - Aurora Australis) can be seen in the far south but so few people live there that they are not as famous. The charged particles from the Sun hit the Earth's atmosphere and cause a current of particles to flow along the earth's magnetic field lines into the polar regions (north and south.)

Because it's too far South- the Aurora Borealis can only be seen in the far Northern latitudes.

Does the northern lights shine in the North Pole?

Sometimes. However, the best places to see the Aurora Borealis (the "northern lights") is in Finland and northern Scandinavia. Northern Canada is good, too, but fewer people live that far north in Canada. The website spaceweather.com is one of the best sources for photos of and information about the northern lights.
