Question

Where do Aurora Borealis occur?

Answer 1

Aurora Borealis (the Northern Lights) occurs in high‑latitude polar regions near Earth’s magnetic poles, typically seen beyond roughly 65° latitude (about the Arctic Circle at 66°30’N) in the Northern Hemisphere, with the equivalent aurora australis visible around Antarctica in the Southern Hemisphere.

They form in the ionosphere when charged particles from the Sun interact with gases in Earth’s upper atmosphere.
