Best Answer

The Aurora Borealis are the "northern lights", caused by electrically charged particles launched from the Sun and interacting with the Earth's magnetic field. It's sort of like an enormous neon light high in the tenuous atmosphere.

The Aurora Australis are the southern lights, which are essentially similar. But because fewer people live in chilly southern latitudes as opposed to northern ones, they are not as well known.
