The Aurora Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights, occurs in the Northern Hemisphere, while the Aurora Australis, or Southern Lights, takes place in the Southern Hemisphere. Both phenomena are caused by charged particles from the sun interacting with the Earth's magnetic field and atmosphere, resulting in beautiful light displays. The specific colors and shapes of the auroras can vary based on atmospheric conditions, but their fundamental nature is the same, differing only by location.
