The aurorae are best visible from the Arctic and Antarctic Circles - and/or locations close to them. It's very rare to see the aurorae near the equator or latitudes as far south(or north) as say, Los Angeles.

How do Auroras develop?

Auroras occur in the mesospere.


Can Aurora be seen in the winter?

Yes, frequently. The display of the aurora borealis isn't connected to the seasons. However, while auroras often OCCUR during the daytime, the faint light is difficult to SEE against the bright background of the sunlit sky. So we more often see auroras at night. And since auroras are usually high-latitude events, and the summer days are quite long at high latitudes, it makes sense that we will more often see auroras in the long winter nights - because the nights are longer!


Would you expect to see auroras on the moon?

No, you would not expect to see auroras on the Moon as you do on Earth. Auroras are caused by interactions between the solar wind and a planet's magnetic field and atmosphere, which the Moon lacks. While the Moon does have a very thin exosphere, it does not possess a significant magnetic field to create the conditions necessary for auroras. Therefore, any potential auroral phenomena on the Moon would be vastly different and much less visible than those on Earth.


Why don't we see auroras on the moon?

The auroras we see on Earth are a result of Earth's magnetic field funneling high-energy particles from the sun into Earth's upper atmosphere, where excited electrons in gas molecules create a glow. The moon has no magnetic field and no atmosphere.


How do auroras appear in the night sky?

Auroras appears in the night sky by atoms and molecules. Auroras is lights in the sky.


Where can you see Auroras?

The nearer you can get to the north or south magnetic pole, the more likely you are to see them, but they are never guaranteed. You can access forecasts on the internet.


Can auroras only occur at night?

Auroras can occur during the day or night, but they are typically easier to see at night when it is dark. However, strong solar activity can sometimes create auroras that are visible during the daytime as well.


How often has the Aurora Borealis been sighted in Graves County KY?

It would be quite unusual to see auroras as far south as Kentucky, but it has happened; at the peak of the last sunspot cycle, there were auroras in Florida!


Why can t you see the borealis and australis here in the Philippines?

Auroras are usually confined to arctic (and antarctic) regions near the magnetic poles. The Philippines is a tropical nation. It would be extremely unusual for auroras to be visible in the Philippines.
