Aurora are generated when magnetic storms from the sun hit the earth's atmosphere and interact with it.
Both polar regions experience aurora: Aurora Australis occurs in the Southern Hemisphere, and Aurora Borealis occurs in the Northern Hemisphere.

∙ 13y agoNo. In the Northern hemisphere it is called the Aurora Borealis, but when seen in Antarctica, it is called the Aurora Australis.

∙ 10y agoYes, it is the result of the magnetism at the geographic North Pole of the Earth.

Are the northern lights in Antarctica?
No they're in the Arctic that is why they're the NORTHERNlights

When is northern lights and meteor on the same day?
You can have a meteor on any day and the northern lights can occur on any day, so it is hard to predict when both will happen on the same day.You can have a meteor on any day and the northern lights can occur on any day, so it is hard to predict when both will happen on the same day.You can have a meteor on any day and the northern lights can occur on any day, so it is hard to predict when both will happen on the same day.You can have a meteor on any day and the northern lights can occur on any day, so it is hard to predict when both will happen on the same day.You can have a meteor on any day and the northern lights can occur on any day, so it is hard to predict when both will happen on the same day.You can have a meteor on any day and the northern lights can occur on any day, so it is hard to predict when both will happen on the same day.You can have a meteor on any day and the northern lights can occur on any day, so it is hard to predict when both will happen on the same day.You can have a meteor on any day and the northern lights can occur on any day, so it is hard to predict when both will happen on the same day.You can have a meteor on any day and the northern lights can occur on any day, so it is hard to predict when both will happen on the same day.You can have a meteor on any day and the northern lights can occur on any day, so it is hard to predict when both will happen on the same day.You can have a meteor on any day and the northern lights can occur on any day, so it is hard to predict when both will happen on the same day.
Why does Antarctica get northern lights?
Antarctica does not get the "Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis)", being at the South Pole, it gets the "Southern Lights" or the Aurora Australis. The source of both the Aurora Australis and Aurora Borealis is the sun. A stream of particles known as the "Solar Wind" spills around the edges of the Earth's magnetic sphere and, when it collides with gases in the ionosphere, the particles glow very spectacularly.
Do the northern lights come once a year?
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.
What is the only hemisphere where Antarctica has no land?
Antarctica has no land in the northern hemisphere.
Why are northern lights made?
the northern lights are caused by magnetic energy being shot out of the passing through the earths atmosphere it also happen in the southern hemisphere because the atmosphere is weaker in these parts
