20 miles away
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.
The northern lights, or aurora borealis, occur in the Earth's upper atmosphere between 60 and 250 miles above the Earth's surface. The distance from where they are visible on the ground can vary depending on the strength of the solar activity and atmospheric conditions. Typically, they can be seen in regions located within about 60-70 degrees latitude from the magnetic poles.
The can be seen as far south as 50oN. See the related link to Wikipedia for a map showing the extent they can be viewed. Scroll down to the section 'Frequency of occurrence' - and click on either of the two maps to enlarge.
It generally is located in the far north close to the pole but the lights have been seen as far south as California.
Red is the color that can be seen from far away because its wavelength is big, compared to the other colors.
they are best seen in Norway but if you don't want to go too far then you can see them in Scotland aswell
It is rare to see the northern lights in Denmark due to its southern location. The best chances of seeing the northern lights are in locations closer to the Arctic Circle where they are more commonly observed.
Go as far north as you can get and get as far away from any city lights.Yes and they are a sight to behold.

Yes and No. Northern lights are seen in the north, the same phenomenon (Southern Lights - Aurora Australis) can be seen in the far south but so few people live there that they are not as famous. The charged particles from the Sun hit the Earth's atmosphere and cause a current of particles to flow along the earth's magnetic field lines into the polar regions (north and south.)
I've seen them as far south as New York. The farther south you go, the less often they'll be visable. Sun spot activity makes them more visible.

It is very rare to see the northern lights in Texas due to its location being too far south. The northern lights, or aurora borealis, are typically visible in higher latitude regions closer to the North Pole.
