The Aurora Australis in the Southern Hemisphere, (and Aurora Borealis in the northern hemisphere) are magnificent displays of coloured light. They result from collisions between electrically charged gaseous particles in the Earth's atmosphere with charged particles from the sun that enter the atmosphere. Sunspot activity causes electrons and protons from the sun to be blown towards the earth on the solar wind.
The different colours are caused by the different types of gas particles. The reason they occur more at the poles is that earth's magnetic field, which usually deflects the particles, is weaker there, allowing the particles to enter. Some particles are attracted by the magnetic poles due to the electromagnetic behaviour of charged particles, which causes the particles to be led down the lines of magnetic flux until they hit the atmosphere.
What else can I help you with?
What are the northern light called as?
Aurora Borealis for the northern ones, and Aurora Australis for the southern ones.
Do aurora australis seen here in the Philippines?
yes . my friend says that she see aurora australis here in the philippines but im not sure :)
Can you see the aurora borealis in the southern hemisphere?
NO!!!! However, you can see the 'Aurora Australis' in the Souther Hemisphere. The words from their Latin roots. Aurora ' Dawn/Light Borealis ' Northern Australis ; Southern . NB Oriental ; Eastern Occidental ; Western.
How is and aurora borealis different from and aurora australis?
Aurora Borealis occurs in northern parts of the world. Aurora Australis in southern parts of the world. Borealis is more known because there are more places and people to see them.
What is the aurora australis referred to as?
Southern Lights
Where would you Aurora australis?
The Aurora Australis are the "Southern Lights" They can be seen in the "low" latitudes of the southern hemisphere.
What is the name of the Aurora in Antarctica?
Aurora Australis is the name of the aurora in Antarctica.
What are the northern light called as?
Aurora Borealis for the northern ones, and Aurora Australis for the southern ones.
What is The Aurora that is visible in the southern hemisphere?
The Aurora Australis, also known as the Southern Lights, is a natural light display in the Earth's southern hemisphere. It occurs when charged particles from the sun interact with the Earth's magnetic field and create stunning displays of light in the sky, similar to the Northern Lights in the northern hemisphere.
Do aurora australis seen here in the Philippines?
yes . my friend says that she see aurora australis here in the philippines but im not sure :)
What is the difference between a Aurora borealis and a Aurora australis?
The Aurora Borealis is in the northen hemisphere at the north pole. However the Aurora Australis is in the southern hemisphere at the south pole. That is the only difference in them; they are both formed in the same way. They are both polar lights. One is the Aurora Borealis, the northern lights and the Aurora Australis, the southern lights. They are on the different poles on the earth, other than that, they are the same. Borealis is near the North Pole. Australis is near the South pole. The Aurora Borealis is at the north magnetic pole: the Aurora Australis is at the south magnetic pole. That's the only difference. They are both really the same thing but are visible from different places in the world. The aurora borealis can be seen in Northern England and in Scotland sometime, normally in summer and spring. The aurora austalis can be seen from places like Australia and New Zealand. Another difference is that the aurora borealis are brighter that the aurora austalis
Is the Antarctica lights formed by the sun?
If you're thinking of Aurora Australis, yes, these are formed by bursts of energy that are emitted from the sun and enter the earth's atmosphere at the poles.
Can you see the aurora borealis in the southern hemisphere?
NO!!!! However, you can see the 'Aurora Australis' in the Souther Hemisphere. The words from their Latin roots. Aurora ' Dawn/Light Borealis ' Northern Australis ; Southern . NB Oriental ; Eastern Occidental ; Western.
How is and aurora borealis different from and aurora australis?
Aurora Borealis occurs in northern parts of the world. Aurora Australis in southern parts of the world. Borealis is more known because there are more places and people to see them.
What is the Aurora called in the south?
In the southern hemisphere, the Aurora is called the Aurora Australis, or the Southern Lights. These are similar to the Aurora Borealis in the northern hemisphere and are caused by solar particles interacting with the Earth's magnetic field.
What is the aurora australis referred to as?
Southern Lights
What are the two kinds of aurora phenomenon?
Aurora Borealis which is the "northern lights" and Aurora Australis which occurs in Australia
