∙ 11y agoThe Aurora Borealis is in the northen hemisphere at the north pole. However the Aurora Australis is in the southern hemisphere at the south pole. That is the only difference in them; they are both formed in the same way.
They are both polar lights. One is the Aurora Borealis, the northern lights and the Aurora Australis, the southern lights. They are on the different poles on the earth, other than that, they are the same.
Borealis is near the North Pole.
Australis is near the South pole.
The Aurora Borealis is at the north magnetic pole: the Aurora Australis is at the south magnetic pole. That's the only difference.
They are both really the same thing but are visible from different places in the world. The aurora borealis can be seen in Northern England and in Scotland sometime, normally in summer and spring. The aurora austalis can be seen from places like Australia and New Zealand. Another difference is that the aurora borealis are brighter that the aurora austalis

∙ 8y agoThe main difference between Aurora Borealis and Aurora Australis is their location. Aurora Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights, occurs in the Northern Hemisphere, while Aurora Australis, or the Southern Lights, appears in the Southern Hemisphere. Both phenomena are caused by solar particles interacting with the Earth's magnetic fields and atmosphere.

∙ 14y agoYes, the Northern Lights is the name for an aurora when it is seen in the Northern hemisphere (the Aurora Borealis). When seen from the Southern hemisphere, they are known as the Southern Lights, or Aurora Australis.

∙ 12y agoBorealis is over the North Pole: Australis is over the South Pole.

In the southern hemisphere, the Aurora is called the Aurora Australis, or the Southern Lights. These are similar to the Aurora Borealis in the northern hemisphere and are caused by solar particles interacting with the Earth's magnetic field.
The Aurora Arcticus is also known as the Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis. It is a natural light display in the Earth's sky, predominantly seen in high-latitude regions close to the Arctic and Antarctic.
The Aurora Borealis is a display of colored lights in the sky, also called northern lights, caused by the interaction of particles from the sun with the upper atmosphere near the North Pole. A similar display, called the Aurora Australis, occurs in the atmosphere above the South Pole.
No, the Aurora Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights, is typically strongest near the North and South Poles, far from the equator. This natural light display is caused by solar particles interacting with the Earth's magnetic field closer to the poles where the magnetic field is strongest.
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.
No, the aurora borealis, also known as the northern lights, is not bad. It is a natural light display that occurs in the Earth's atmosphere, typically near the polar regions, and is a stunning phenomenon caused by the interaction of solar particles with the Earth's magnetic field.
Aurora Borealis occurs in northern parts of the world. Aurora Australis in southern parts of the world. Borealis is more known because there are more places and people to see them.
The aurora borealis, also known as the Northern Lights, cannot be seen in the southern hemisphere. The equivalent phenomenon in the southern hemisphere is called the aurora australis, or the Southern Lights.
Astronomical term for the twinkling of stars is "stellar scintillation." This phenomenon occurs as light from stars passes through Earth's atmosphere, leading to the twinkling effect.
Aurora Borealis which is the "northern lights" and Aurora Australis which occurs in Australia
An aurora borealis, also known as the Northern Lights, occurs near the North Pole and is visible in the Northern Hemisphere. An aurora australis, or the Southern Lights, occurs near the South Pole and is visible in the Southern Hemisphere. Both are caused by solar particles interacting with the Earth's magnetic field.
The phenomenon is called the aurora borealis in the Northern Hemisphere and the aurora australis in the Southern Hemisphere.
Aurora's real name is Aurora Aksnes. She is a Norwegian singer-songwriter known for her ethereal music and unique vocal style.
Aurora Borealis and Aurora Australis.
In the north, you can see aurora borealis and in the south you can see aurora australis.
The Northern Lights. Borealis is "north" and aurora is similar to "lights" so "northern lights". There is such thing as Aurora Australis that occurs in the south.
The Aurora. In the northern hemisphere it is named 'The Aurora Borealis' ( Latin for Northern Lights) In the southern hemisphere it is named ' Tha Aurora Australis'. ( Latin for Southern Lights).
