How do the northern lights affect people?

Common name for Aurora borealis?
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.
Why don't people talk about the southern lights?
People do talk about them. You probably live in the northern hemisphere, so the Northern Lights are more relevant there. In the southern hemisphere, people would be talking about the Southern Lights, as that is what they might be able to see. Where they are, they would not be talking about the Northern Lights.
Why are northern lights called aurora borealis?
Aurora sort of translates to "lights" (it's the name of the Greek goddess of the dawn). Boreas was the Greek god of north winds. So Borealis means "northern". So it translates almost directly to "northern lights". BTW, Aurora Borealis is technically the proper term for them.
Is it possible to predict the northern lights?
Yes, but not very long in advance. When there is a lot of activity on the surface of the sun and it ejects material towards Earth, the Northern Lights can be seen. So if the activity on the Sun is seen, then it is possible to predict that the Northern Lights will be seen in the following hours and days.
