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.
