What is the difference between a Aurora borealis and a Aurora australis?

The Aurora Borealis is in the northen hemisphere at the north pole. However the Aurora Australis is in the southern hemisphere at the south pole. That is the only difference in them; they are both formed in the same way. They are both polar lights. One is the Aurora Borealis, the northern lights and the Aurora Australis, the southern lights. They are on the different poles on the earth, other than that, they are the same. Borealis is near the North Pole. Australis is near the South pole. The Aurora Borealis is at the north magnetic pole: the Aurora Australis is at the south magnetic pole. That's the only difference. They are both really the same thing but are visible from different places in the world. The aurora borealis can be seen in Northern England and in Scotland sometime, normally in summer and spring. The aurora austalis can be seen from places like Australia and New Zealand. Another difference is that the aurora borealis are brighter that the aurora austalis


What is a display of lights near the South Pole?

Aurora Australis, also known as the Southern Lights, is a display of colorful lights in the sky near the South Pole. This natural phenomenon is caused by the interaction between charged particles from the sun and the Earth's magnetic field. The lights can appear as shimmering curtains or swirling patterns in the night sky.


Difference in Northern Lights and Southern Lights?

They are the same. They simply occur in different hemispheres. The southern lights are less well known because there is less inhabited land around the south pole, where you would see the southern lights


What are the Southern Lights?

The Southern Lights (Aurora Austrialis) are a sky phenomena, multi-colored shimmering lights, associated with the acceleration of charged particles above the South Magnetic Pole. (see the related question)


What is Mysterious moving lights in sky called?

These are called auroras, or the northern/southern lights, depending on which pole you are at. The northern lights are also known as the Aurora Borealis, while the southern lights are known as the Aurora Australis. It is the interaction of charged particles directed by the Earth's magnetic field.
