That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
The correct answer is "Northern Hemisphere". The Northern Lights are primarily visible in the Northern Hemisphere, particularly near the Arctic Circle. The Aurora Australis, also known as the Southern Lights, are predominantly seen in high-latitude regions around Antarctica. This phenomenon occurs when charged particles from the sun collide with atoms in Earth's atmosphere, producing vibrant displays of light. The best viewing conditions typically arise in regions with low light pollution and clear skies.
