Yes there are. They are the same phenomenon as the Northern Lights. It happens at both the north pole and south pole. The Northern Lights can be seen in much of the northern hemisphere and the Southern Lights in much of the southern hemisphere.
It is uncommon to see the northern lights (aurora borealis) in Tennessee. They are usually visible in regions closer to the North or South Poles where the magnetic field is weaker. However, during periods of strong solar activity, the northern lights can sometimes be seen at more southern latitudes, including Tennessee, although this is rare.
Yes, the northern lights are typically not visible in the Himalayas as they are more commonly seen in polar regions closer to the North and South Poles. The high altitude and light pollution in the Himalayas make it difficult to observe the northern lights.
The northern lights can sometimes be visible in the northernmost states of the United States, such as Alaska, and occasionally in states like Minnesota, Michigan, and Maine during periods of heightened solar activity. The best chances of seeing the northern lights in the U.S. are in Alaska due to its proximity to the North Pole.
