The Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis, are glowing bands, circles and streams of colored lights that sometimes appear in the northern latitudes.pretty much there lights that apear in the sky at a pecific time of year.
The Aurora Borealis (also known as the northern lights) is seen in the night time sky exclusively in the northern hemisphere. It is more prominently and frequently viewed at northern latitudes, but can be seen generally throughout the temperate regions north of the equator, especially during the equinoxes (near spring and fall). . The Aurora Australis is the southern hemisphere's counterpart to the Aurora Borealis.
In December, near Christmas
In the northern hemisphere it is best seen in the spring.
The best place to find information on how to see the Northern lights are on the ehow site. They show when the best time to see it is and gives a explanation on how it forms.
The best time to see the northern lights is on a cold night.
No. It is down to activity on the Sun, which is unpredictable. When there is unusual activity on the surface of the sun that is seen by astronomers, they can predict that the Northern Lights will be visible in a few days after that. That can happen at any time. There is no pattern in terms of when it can happen. Most of the time the required activity is not happening on the sun, so the Northern Lights don't appear at all.
The Northern lights were visible for a short time in Maryland in October of 2001 due to a solar flare. The Northern lights are most visible the further north one goes. Video is available for a vantage view.

There are no set dates. They can happen at any time. So for any given year you cannot say what dates it will be possible to see the Northern Lights. They are caused by unusual activity on the Sun and that activity is completely unpredictable. When astronomers do see it, they can then predict that the Northern Lights will be seen in the coming days. So it is only just a few days before they happen that it is possible to predict them.
After dark
The Aurora Borealis (also known as the northern lights) is seen in the night time sky exclusively in the northern hemisphere.

The Aurora Australis is the southern hemisphere's counterpart to the Aurora Borealis.
The Northern Lights can only be seen in darkness. They can be spotted in areas like northern Finland from late August through late April. The lights are usually at their peak in September and March.
The best time of year to see the Northern Lights depends on where in the world you are. For example, in Iceland, the best time to see them is during September, October, February, and March.
