Because both Alaska and Australia are much closer to the poles, where the effects of Earth's magnetic field can be seen -- auroras occur due to solar winds hitting the lower layers of the magnetic field.

Auroras are caused by solar wind particles interacting with Earth's magnetic field, not solar flares directly. Solar flares can cause an increase in solar wind activity, which can lead to more intense auroras.


What are the type of auroras borealius?

Auroras borealis, or northern lights, primarily manifest in two types: diffuse auroras and discrete auroras. Diffuse auroras appear as broad, glowing bands of light that cover large areas and often have a more uniform brightness. In contrast, discrete auroras consist of distinct, bright arcs or bands that can shift and change rapidly, often displaying vibrant colors. These phenomena are caused by charged particles from the solar wind interacting with the Earth’s magnetic field and atmosphere.
