Question

The aurora borealis is seen mainly ____. (1 point)
at the equator
near the poles
over oceans
on high mountains

Answer 1

The Aurora Borealis (also known as the northern lights) is seen in the night time sky exclusively in the northern hemisphere. It is more prominently and frequently viewed at northern latitudes, but can be seen generally throughout the temperate regions north of the equator, especially during the equinoxes (near spring and fall).
.
The Aurora Australis is the southern hemisphere's counterpart to the Aurora Borealis.

Answer 2

Near the poles, because it's seen in the northern hemisphere in high latitudes (which are near the poles). So around the North Pole.

Aurora australis is aurora borealis's counterpart; it is mainly seen near the south pole.

The question asks where you can see them MAINLY. So it is near the poles. However, you can occasionally see them at temperate places (like the equator).

Answer 3

Are you sure that it is near the poles
