Can you see the Aurora Borealis from Argentina or Borneo?
You may be able to see Aurora Australis from Southern Argentina, but probably not from Borneo.You would not be able to see Aurora Borealis from either geography.
Which hemisphere would you be in to see the Aurora Borealis?
northern hemisphere
Does aurora borealis have any bad effect on human and the world?
If you are looking up at the aurora borealis while you are walking, it would be possible for you to stub your toe on a rock. Otherwise, no. The Aurora Borealis works exactly the same as a fluorescent light; electrical currents running through the near-vacuum of the ionosphere. Except prettier.
Where the best place in wales to see aurora borealis?
The best places to see the aurora borealis are The North pole, Scotland, Norway, so I would suggest since you are in wales, you go as far north as possible and hope you get lucky, as it is a natural phenomenon and may not occur or occur in such a magnitude to be seen from wales.
What is the glowing region in the atmosphere called?
the glowing region in the atmosphere is called an aurora. An aurora example of an aurora would be aurora borealis or the northern lights, or the aurora australis which is also known as the southern lights. *<=D
Why is the Aurora Borealis above Greenland green?
Green is the commonest color in the Aurora Borealis as green is produced when charged particles from the sun collide with atoms of oxygen at a high level. The Aurora over Greenland would sometimes show colors of blue and red, though probably not as often.
When was the last aurora borealis?
The Aurora Borealis is not something like a total eclipse of the sun - that happens once in a handful of years. The auroras happen nightly , it just depends on how far North you are. If you live in Chicago, it's a very rare night you would see the Aurora. If you live in northern Finland, it's a rare night you wouldn't see it.
From where can you see the Aurora Borealis?
The aurora borealis, usually called the northern lights are easiest to see if you are inside the arctic circle. So you would have to go to places such as northern Scandinavia or north Canada to see them. However if there is a strong solar storm they become visible further south. You can usually see the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) from any Polar region. There are also the Southern Lights (Aurora Australis) which can be seen from southern regions. They show in Alaska. You can ocasionally see them from northern US like I did last night
What would happen if you fell in the aurora borealis?
The aurora borealis is the closest thing to "nothing" that you can actually see; it is VERY thin air, partially ionized by the solar radiation spiraling in toward the Earth along the magnetic field lines. It is, for the most part, above the highest altitude that aircraft can reach. If you were to go up in a high-altitude balloon and jump out with a space suit and a parachute, you could "fall into the aurora borealis" and suffer no ill effects. Without the space suit, you would be dead in moments from lack of air, and without a parachute, you would be killed on impact with the ground 30 miles below.
Does aurora borealis influence compass needles?
Scientists observed disruption of a the magnetic needle of a compass by the electromagnetic interference by Aurora Borealis which reflected perfect direction that coincided with the view of the phenomena. It was concluded this would only happen if electric currents were setting from south to north in the earth under the needle, or from north to south in space above it.

Was mawson's ship the Aurora named after the Aurora australis?
Highly unlikely. The SY Aurora was built in 1876 in Glasgow, Scotland as a whaling ship in the northern seas. Douglas Mawson only acquired the ship in 1910 and she had already been named. If it was named after a "polar light" it would have been the Aurora Borealis.
