Where can the Aurora Borealis be found?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 3

They are a natural light displays in the sky, predominantly seen in the high latitudes - Arctic for the Aurora Borealis and Antarctic for the Aurora Australis. The Auroras are happen when the magnetosphere above the Earth is hit by solar winds strong enough that the trajectories of charged particles in both the solar wind and the magnetospheric plasma (mostly electrons and protons), precipitate them into the upper atmosphere, where their energy is lost. The resulting ionization and excitation of atmospheric constituents emits light of varying color and complexity. They look like persistent bands of colors or snake across the sky in waves. Sometimes they will look like falling curtains of color.

Answer 4

Alaska and Britain and sometimes Fiji! But that is very rare in Fiji but i was lucky enough to see them.

Answer 5

The Aurora Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights, can be seen in regions close to the North Pole, such as Northern Scandinavia, Iceland, Greenland, Alaska, and parts of Canada and Russia.
