In addition to Earth, other planets with magnetic fields like Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune have been known to have visible auroras. These auroras are caused by charged particles from the Sun interacting with the planets' magnetic fields, creating spectacular light displays in their atmospheres.

Is it possible to see the northern lights from Washington?

Occasionally when solar activity is extremely intense, the Northern Lights may be visible in the state of Washington - the further north and east in the state, the more likely. Solar energy peaks about every 11 years so that's about how often there is a chance of seeing the Northern lights in Washington - but its still rare; it has to be a more energetic peak solar year than normal for the northern lights to stray that far south.


Can you see the northern lights from DEN to LHR Denver to London?

The northern lights don't happen on a fixed schedule; we generally can't predict when they are likely to occur. However, the great-circle route from Denver to London does cross some pretty high latitudes, so there's a good chance that they will be visible.


How come the closer you get to the equator the less you see northern lights?

You don't often see auroras near the equator because the lights occur above the magnetic poles, so the Northern Lights are more often seen from northern latitudes in Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Northern Europe and Russia, and Alaska in the US. If the aurora is very spectacular it can be seen closer to the equator, but hugely spectacular auroras don't occur very often.

What is another name for the northern and southern lights?

Aurora Borealis for the northern lights and aurora australis for the southern lights. They can be red, blue, green, even violet. They occur in the winter. ADDED: Actually they occur at any time of year. They are not seasonal, but are much more likely to be visible in Winter simply because the skies are darker and for longer each day. I have been lucky enough to see them, while on holiday in Norway, and that in late August.
