Are there such things as the southern lights?
Yes there are. They are the same phenomenon as the Northern Lights. It happens at both the north pole and south pole. The Northern Lights can be seen in much of the northern hemisphere and the Southern Lights in much of the southern hemisphere.
What do you call an aroura at the south pole?
southern lights
Does the South Pole show the northern lights?
No. The aurora at the South Pole are called aurora australis or would be 'southern lights'.
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 is Aurora counterpart role?
There's an Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) at the north magnetic pole and an Aurora Australis (Southern Lights) at the south magnetic pole.
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.
What is light seen at the north pole and south pole when solar wind collides with earths atmosphere?
The "Northern Lights" (or Aurora Borealis) are seen near the North Pole. The "Southern Lights" (or Aurora Australis) are seen near the South Pole. For more information on Auroras, see the related link included.

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
Where is southern ocean located?
The Southern Ocean circles Antarctica, or the South Pole.
What do the Northern Lights have to do with magnetism?
There are magnetic forces in the Northern Pole and the Southern Pole. Those magnetic fields reflect off the sun and makes a bright and colerful light usually near the poles; (Antarctica, Greenland, Canada, ect.)
