There's an Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) at the north magnetic pole and an Aurora Australis (Southern Lights) at the south magnetic pole.

What are the southern lights called?

The southern lights are called the Aurora Australis. They are the southern hemisphere counterpart to the northern lights, known as the Aurora Borealis. Both are natural light displays caused by the interaction of solar particles with the Earth's atmosphere.


Is the Aurora Borealis?

The aurora is a glow observed in the night sky, usually in the polar zone. For this reason some scientists call it a "polar aurora" (or "aurora polaris"). In northern latitudes, it is known as "aurora borealis" which is Latin for "northern dawn" since in Europe especially, it often appears as a reddish glow on the northern horizon as if the sun were rising from an unusual direction. The aurora borealis is also called the "northern lights". The aurora borealis most often occurs from September to October and March to April. Its southern counterpart, "aurora australis", has similar properties. The cause of the aurora is charged particles from the solar wind, accelerated by the Earth's magnetic field, colliding with atoms in the upper atmosphere causing them to glow as they release their surplus energy.


What does the Aurora Australis look like?

The Aurora Australis is a natural light display in the Southern Hemisphere, similar to the Northern Lights. It appears as colorful shifting curtains of light in the night sky, typically in shades of green, pink, and purple. It is caused by solar particles interacting with the Earth's atmosphere.


The Aurora borealis and Aurora australis occur in which layer of the atmosphere?

The Aurora Borealis and its southern counterpart the Aurora Australis are formed high in the atmosphere in the ionosphere, which is sometimes considered as part of the thermosphere, the outermost actual atmosphere. Above this layer, the exosphere has so few molecules that they can escape into space.(see the related question below)

What is the role of the paralog protein in cellular functions and how does it differ from its ortholog counterpart?

The paralog protein plays a role in cellular functions by carrying out specific tasks within the cell. It differs from its ortholog counterpart in that it has evolved from a common ancestor gene through gene duplication, resulting in differences in structure and function.
