How often do the Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis happen in Nova Scotia?

Answer 1

It is caused by the showers of particles spraying out of the sun and captured by the magnetic field of the earth. So it is not actually on a regular schedule, and actually is happening constantly, but is best seen at night. The brightness and extent is determined by how charged the particles are.

The closer you are to the north magnetic pole the more often you will see it.

Answer 2

aurora borealis appear when the sun lets of high pressure gas.if this gas travels past the earth it interfears with the radiation.It depends how rare they are if you are in the north and its winter and a clear night you should see one

Answer 3

The aurora borealis is actually a very common occurrence on Earth; it is said that auroras occur almost every day. However, their light is so faint that they are out-shined by the sun when they happen in the day. Therefore, the best times to see auroras occur in the winter, when nights are longest. Auroras also become more frequent when the sun is most active during its 11-year cycle.

Answer 4

The Northern Aurora Borealis usually can be seen from September to October and from March to April. But this is seen very far north, north Canada. The Southern Aurora Australis has similar properties, but is only visible from high southern latitudes in Antarctica, South America, or Australasia.

Answer 5

No, as it happens once a year in Alaska. In order to see it, you have to be in the right place at the right time of the year. Trust me, I did a state report on Alaska.
