Antarctica does not get the "Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis)", being at the South Pole, it gets the "Southern Lights" or the Aurora Australis. The source of both the Aurora Australis and Aurora Borealis is the sun. A stream of particles known as the "Solar Wind" spills around the edges of the Earth's magnetic sphere and, when it collides with gases in the ionosphere, the particles glow very spectacularly.
What else can I help you with?
Is Antarctica in the north or south hemisphere?
Antarctica is in the Southern Hemisphere, not the Northern Hemisphere. As well, parts of it are in the Eastern and parts in the Western Hemisphere.
Aurora borealis is a name for what natural phenomenon?
The aurora borealis night-sky displays are also known as the northern lights, or the northern polar lights.(or the southern (polar) lights, depending on where you live)In the Southern Hemisphere this phenomenon is also known as the aurora australis.
What layer does not contain the northern lights?
The Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis, occur in the thermosphere and exosphere layers of Earth's atmosphere. They are typically observed between 60 and 400 kilometers above the Earth's surface. The stratosphere and troposphere layers do not contain the Northern Lights.
Can you see the northern lights in china?
It is extremely rare to see the northern lights in China as it is not located within the auroral zone where the lights are most commonly visible. The best places to see the northern lights are typically in high-latitude regions such as Scandinavia, Canada, or Alaska.
What city is there a monument to the northern lights?
There is a monument to the northern lights in Utsjoki, Finland. The "Aurora Tower" is a structure that pays tribute to the natural phenomenon of the northern lights and provides a platform for viewing them in the Arctic region.
What are the northern lights in Antarctica called?

What are the northen lights in Antarctica called?
There are no northern lights in Antarctica. However, the southern lights -- Aurora Australis -- are visible from the continent.
What region of earth has the least amount of lights?
Antarctica. (excluding the northern lights)
What is one phenomena found in Antarctica?
The Southern Lights- like the Northern Lights, but in the South.
Are the northern lights in Antarctica?
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.
What is the only hemisphere where Antarctica has no land?
Antarctica has no land in the northern hemisphere.
Do the northern lights happen in antarctica?
Aurora are generated when magnetic storms from the sun hit the earth's atmosphere and interact with it. Both polar regions experience aurora: Aurora Australis occurs in the Southern Hemisphere, and Aurora Borealis occurs in the Northern Hemisphere.
What hemisphere does not include Antarctica?
Antarctica does not exist in the northern hemisphere.
Which continent is not in the western and northern hemisphere?
Asia, Australia, and Antarctica are not in the Northern and Western Hemispheres (together). Separately, Asia is a part of the Northern while Antarctica is a part of the Western.
Why don't people talk about the southern lights?
People do talk about them. You probably live in the northern hemisphere, so the Northern Lights are more relevant there. In the southern hemisphere, people would be talking about the Southern Lights, as that is what they might be able to see. Where they are, they would not be talking about the Northern Lights.
Why do astronomers love antarctica?
The primary reason is that there are no city lights to contend with. Another reason is that the stars visible there are less familiar to northern hemisphere observers. Antarctica is a desert with very little moisture in the atmosphere to distort viewing.
Where is the Northern Lights located?
the northern lights are ,i am pretty sure,located in the northern hemisphere in Alaska
