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
Aurora Borealis
There has been much debate about who discovered the auroras, but ancient Chinese and Greek people have been studying these natural wonders for years, and the ancient Eskimos and Scandinavians have been known to reference them as early as 700 AD. The person that actually brought everyone's attention to the auroras was Benjamin Franklin, even though a French astronomer Pierre Gassedni was credited for given the name of the aurora borealis (the Roman goddess of dawn, Aurora, and the Greek name for north wind, Boreas) in 1612.
Aurora Australis is the name of the aurora in Antarctica.

I think you are referring to Aurora (phenomenon), a luminous atmospheric phenomenon. It is named specifically, according to its location, aurora borealis (northern lights) or aurora australis (southern lights). The term aurora polaris, polar lights, is a general name for both. The aurora consist of rapidly shifting patches and dancing columns of light of various hues.
Northern lights is the name of a light phenomenon often seen in the northern regions. The lights have been around since Earth formed an atmosphere -the dinosaurs saw it, early humans saw it and our descendants will se it. The scientific name for the phenomenon is "Aurora Borealis", aurora for short.
The Northern Lights. Borealis is "north" and aurora is similar to "lights" so "northern lights". There is such thing as Aurora Australis that occurs in the south.
Aurora is not restricted to nighttime. Aurora occurs persistently.It's best visible at night, however, even in Antarctica.Read more about aurora by following the link, below.
