Usually about one hour to two hours. A very faint Aurora lasts only a few minutes. Some auroras which are very strong otherwise known as "aurora storms" last for days, fading away and returning.

It all depends on our sun's activity.

What is another name for the Aurora Australis?

Aurora Australis means "Southern Lights", the opposite to "Aurora Borealis" in the north. (Aurora was the Roman goddess of dawn, (similar to the Greek goddess Eos) and Australis is the Latin word for South.)The Aurora Australis are lights up in the sky that you can only see from the Southern Hemisphere. These silent 'fireworks' you often see on a clear winter night in a variety of shapes and colours! Sometimes the Aurora Australis is over 100-250 km above the ground. The aurora forms huge oval halos of radiation around the earth's magnetic poles.The auroras can disrupt power systems, navigation systems, communications, and more.An Aurora Australis occurs when streams of particles from the sun's solar winds hit the earth's atmosphere at an angle (as can only happen at the poles). These particles collide with atoms of the oxygen and nitrogen gases in the ionosphere and the particles glow creating curtains of blue, green and magenta. An aurora is sometimes accompanied by a crackling sound.Like the Aurora Borealis (northern lights) but in the southern hemisphere.
