When does the Northern Lights appear?

The Northern Lights is a natural phenomenon, more dreamy than others, so many people want to see it. Aurora appears in different places and at different times, but basically it appears in high latitudes, which is most obvious in April next year and reaches its peak near the sunny summer solstice.

The Northern Lights is a unique atmospheric luminous phenomenon in the Arctic region. Aurora itself exists in the North Pole and South Pole. Because the Antarctic continent is not suitable for observation, we usually watch the Northern Lights. In ancient times, people gave the aurora mysterious meaning. In Norwegian mythology, the aurora is the signal that the goddess of aurora cruises. After understanding that aurora is the interaction of the earth's upper atmosphere, geomagnetic field and solar wind, people still give it a beautiful meaning, that is, people who see aurora will be happy.

When it comes to seeing the aurora, we should look at it from different places. Northern Europe can be said to be the most suitable place to watch the aurora. Aurora appears every year with a long period. From September to April every year, the best time to watch the aurora in northern Europe is around the vernal equinox and autumnal equinox. If it is sunny, the moonlight is smaller, because the moonlight around the new moon has less influence on the aurora, and the aurora will look better.

If you want to see the aurora, you can also go to Canada. Speaking of Canada, the best place to see the aurora is Huangdao Town, which is only 400 kilometers away from the Arctic Circle. Here, you can see the aurora for two-thirds of the year. From August to September,1February to April of the following year, you can also experience the aurora tents of Indian aborigines here.

There is also the Arctic Village, the only place in China where you can see the aurora. Arctic Village, located in Mohe City, Heilongjiang Province, is the northernmost town in China. Every summer, it is basically very bright, so it is also called the city that never sleeps. It is also the best time to watch the Northern Lights from summer to around every year. On a sunny night, Wan Li is also a clear Wan Li, which is very suitable for viewing in the middle of the night. During the day, even if there is aurora, it is difficult to see it with the naked eye because the sun is too bright.
