The can be seen as far south as 50oN. See the related link to Wikipedia for a map showing the extent they can be viewed. Scroll down to the section 'Frequency of occurrence' - and click on either of the two maps to enlarge.

Is the Aurora in the north and south?

Yes, the Aurora (Northern Lights and Southern Lights) can be seen in both the north and south hemispheres. In the Northern Hemisphere, they are known as the Northern Lights and can be seen in regions close to the Arctic Circle. In the Southern Hemisphere, they are known as the Southern Lights and can be seen in regions close to the Antarctic Circle.


Are there such things as the southern lights?

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.


Can the northern lights been seen in Tennessee?

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.


Do northern lights appear in Himalayas?

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.


Where can you see the northern lights in the United States?

The one state where you can see the Northern Lights easily is Alaska. On very rare occasion, the Northern Lights can be seen as far south as St. Louis, but generally speaking, it is unusual to see them much south of Central Canada. I live in southern Michigan, am in my 60s, and I have seen the Northern Lights here exactly twice in my life. That depends on the space weather affecting our planet. This changes the latitude at which the lights may be seen and therefore the states it can be seen from.

Where are the northern and sourthern lights found?

The further north or south you are the easier and more frequent they are to be seen. I have seen them in Preston England twice but that is very rare.

What do we call the multicolored lights that are seen from the North Pole?

Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights. They can also be seen from other nearby parts of the Northern Hemisphere.


What is light seen at the north pole and south pole when solar wind collides with earths atmosphere?

The "Northern Lights" (or Aurora Borealis) are seen near the North Pole. The "Southern Lights" (or Aurora Australis) are seen near the South Pole. For more information on Auroras, see the related link included.


What is the farthest south that you can see the Northern Lights?

On very rare occasions they have been seen as far south as Central Texas (33 deg). They appear as a faint , deep red glow on the low northern horizon. They usually can be seen for a couple of nights when the sun spot activity is high. You have to be in a very dark area and know what to look for when they are visible. They were last seen here in 2001, 1991, 1979.


When was the last time the northern lights were seen in nc?

The northern lights, or aurora borealis, were last reported visible in North Carolina on March 23, 2023. This occurrence was due to a strong geomagnetic storm, which allowed the auroras to be seen further south than usual. Typically, sightings in North Carolina are rare, as the lights are more commonly observed in northern latitudes.
