please!! try to read more about what you intend to discuss. Of course that auroras are easy to see in certain condition like close to the poles and in right angle between sun and earth, BUT all auroras are consecuence of solar storms of greater or lesser magnitude !!! If you got a powerful solar storm you can see auroras from latituds like england or even far away. What Do you think? that sun it has nothing to do with auroras???

Storm is an informal reaction while Aurora is a seasonal episode that comes not as a result of ubnormality conditions, but the degree of tilt of the Earth in relation to the Sun. It is only visible in certain times and zone, it is not available for all the seven continents... thank you...
