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.


Does the South Pole show the northern lights?

No. The aurora at the South Pole are called aurora australis or would be 'southern lights'.


Is there any states besides Alaska with the northern lights?

Occasionally the northern lights will be visible as far south as Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, Nebraska, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia, and Virginia - but only during the most intense solar activity. The only states other than Alask that get the Northern Lights with any significant frequency are the northern parts of North Dakota, Minnesota, and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and even there they are uncommon.


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.


Where can you see the northern lights in the United States?

The one state where you can see the Northern Lights easily is Alaska. On very rare occasion, the Northern Lights can be seen as far south as St. Louis, but generally speaking, it is unusual to see them much south of Central Canada. I live in southern Michigan, am in my 60s, and I have seen the Northern Lights here exactly twice in my life. That depends on the space weather affecting our planet. This changes the latitude at which the lights may be seen and therefore the states it can be seen from.
