What are the differences between the Northern Lights and Aurora Borealis?

The Northern Lights and Aurora Borealis are both terms used to refer to the same phenomenon of the night sky - a stunning display of colored light. However, there is a subtle difference between the two. The Northern Lights (also known as aurora borealis) are seen in the Northern Hemisphere, while the Aurora Borealis (also known as aurora australis) is the name of the phenomenon visible in the Southern Hemisphere. So the Northern Lights and Aurora Borealis refer to the same phenomenon, but the difference is their location.
