How did the Aurora Borealis get its name?

Aurora Borealis was named after the Roman Goddess of dawn, Aurora, and the Greek name for the north wind, Boreas, by Pierre Gassendi in 1621.From the Latin "Aurora" = the dawn and from the Greek "Boreas" = The northern wind. (In Greek the winds coming from the four points of the compass had a different name. Boreas for the northern wind, Notus for the southern wind, Zephyrus for the western wind, and Euro for the eastern wind.)So Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) mean 'the dawn of the north'.Aurora is the Roman goddess of the dawn and Boreas is the Greek name for north wind. The same effect occurs in the south pole, however there it is called Aurora Australis. Australis is Latin for "South".Aurora Borealis was named after the Roman Goddess of dawn, Aurora, and the Greek name for the north wind, Boreas, by Pierre Gassendi in 1621."Borealis" is the northern aurora, "Australis" is the southern aurora.


What does Aurora mean?

General:Aurora means 'dawn' (Latin origin)Astronomy:An aurora is an atmospheric display created by charged particles from the sun striking the upper atmosphere, creating coloured lights in the sky.It is usually named the Aurora Borealis (If viewed from the Northern Hemisphere) or Aurora Australis (If viewed from the Southern Hemisphere)


What is another name for the Aurora Australis?

Aurora Australis means "Southern Lights", the opposite to "Aurora Borealis" in the north. (Aurora was the Roman goddess of dawn, (similar to the Greek goddess Eos) and Australis is the Latin word for South.)The Aurora Australis are lights up in the sky that you can only see from the Southern Hemisphere. These silent 'fireworks' you often see on a clear winter night in a variety of shapes and colours! Sometimes the Aurora Australis is over 100-250 km above the ground. The aurora forms huge oval halos of radiation around the earth's magnetic poles.The auroras can disrupt power systems, navigation systems, communications, and more.An Aurora Australis occurs when streams of particles from the sun's solar winds hit the earth's atmosphere at an angle (as can only happen at the poles). These particles collide with atoms of the oxygen and nitrogen gases in the ionosphere and the particles glow creating curtains of blue, green and magenta. An aurora is sometimes accompanied by a crackling sound.Like the Aurora Borealis (northern lights) but in the southern hemisphere.

Can the northern lights still be seen today?

The aurora borealis hasn't gone away, and isn't expected to. That doesn't mean that you (wherver you are) will necessarily see them TONIGHT. The further south of the Arctic Circle you live, the less likely it is that you will see them.

Why are aurora borealis often seen in the northern latitudes of Canada?

It is because of the high altitude and usually clear skies since it is so close to the north pole. However, the Aurora Borealis is not seen every night. +++ It is not seen only from Alaska and Canada, and you mean latitude, not altitude. The A. Borealis (Northern Lights) is visible right round the world at high latitudes. Similarly with A. Australis (Southern Lights). The aurora are visible from high latitudes, North or South, because they form around the Earth's magnetic poles, which are fairly close to the axis Poles; not because the air is clear (although that will help!) They come and go depending on the vagaries of the streams of charged-particles emitted by the Sun, as their light is a result of the particles' reaction with the Earth's upper atmosphere and magnetic field.
