They are the same. They simply occur in different hemispheres. The southern lights are less well known because there is less inhabited land around the south pole, where you would see the southern lights
The Arctic tundra is located in the northern hemisphere, so it is the best place to see the Northern Lights, also known as the aurora borealis. The Southern Lights, or aurora australis, can be seen in the southern hemisphere.
The dancing lights of the ionosphere are known as auroras. In the Northern Hemisphere they are called the Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights. In the Southern Hemisphere they are known as the Aurora Australialis or Southern Lights.
No, the aurora borealis (northern lights) occur near the North Pole. In Antarctica, the corresponding phenomenon is called the aurora australis (southern lights) due to its location in the Southern Hemisphere.
The Aurora lights occur when charged particles from the sun enter the Earth's atmosphere and collide with gases such as oxygen and nitrogen. These collisions emit light, creating the colorful displays known as the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) and Aurora Australis (Southern Lights).

Auroras occur mainly near the Earth's polar regions, known as the auroral ovals. In the Northern Hemisphere, they are called the Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis, while in the Southern Hemisphere, they are known as the Southern Lights or Aurora Australis. These natural light displays are caused by interactions between solar winds and the Earth's magnetic field.
Aurora Australis, the Southern Lights.
Energetic charged particles generated by the solar wind.
Aurora Borealis (northern lights) and Aurora Australis (southern lights) occur in the thermosphere layer of the atmosphere. This layer is located between the mesosphere and exosphere and is where interactions between solar particles and gases in the atmosphere create these beautiful light displays.
The atmospheric glow is the Southern Lights or the Aurora Australis.
