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.)

Can you see the northern lights from Denmark?
Denmark is certainly far enough north to see the northern lights; they've been seen (on extremely rare occasions) as far south as Mexico City.
Can you see the northern lights from Escanaba MI?
Yep .to the north.. I lived there ...
Can you see the northern lights from Arizona?
If you live north of the Equator (in the northern Hemisphere), then the "North Star" is very near the same point in your sky 24/7/365, and you can see it at that point whenever your sky is dark enough and clear enough.
Where could you see the northern lights in the sky?
As far north as possible... polar regions preferably. It depends on solar conditions. In 2008 conditions are not favourable. Have a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurora_(astronomy)
When is the best time to see the northern lights?
The best time to see the northern lights is on a cold night.

Where in Alaska can one see the Northern Lights best?
Go as far north as you can get and get as far away from any city lights.Yes and they are a sight to behold.
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.

Can you see the northern lights in Liverpool?
Yes. Quite rare but I saw them once from Liverpool. It wasn't much to see, a faint glow across the sky. You're far more likely to see them further north. Try Scotland.
At what time can you see the northern lights in Maryland?
The Northern lights were visible for a short time in Maryland in October of 2001 due to a solar flare. The Northern lights are most visible the further north one goes. Video is available for a vantage view.
Is it possible to see the northern lights from Washington?
Occasionally when solar activity is extremely intense, the Northern Lights may be visible in the state of Washington - the further north and east in the state, the more likely. Solar energy peaks about every 11 years so that's about how often there is a chance of seeing the Northern lights in Washington - but its still rare; it has to be a more energetic peak solar year than normal for the northern lights to stray that far south.

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.
Why can't you see the northern lights from England?
You can see them from England. They are better seen the closer you are to the north pole area, but if it is a good display and it is clear you can see them from England.
