How come the closer you get to the equator the less you see northern lights?
You don't often see auroras near the equator because the lights occur above the magnetic poles, so the Northern Lights are more often seen from northern latitudes in Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Northern Europe and Russia, and Alaska in the US. If the aurora is very spectacular it can be seen closer to the equator, but hugely spectacular auroras don't occur very often.
How often do the northern lights occur?
The Northern Lights occur year round but are only visible when nights are dark. In the locations in which they are best seen, Alaska, Canada, Norway and Finland, they are usually seen from September through April when the nights are long and dark.

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.
