Abstract

An analysis of aurora distribution in the northern and southern hemispheres has been made according to results of photo-observations for aurorae. The auroral zone is of an oval form, approaching the geomagnetic pole (ϕ’ ~ 78°) at day hours and withdrawing from the pole (ϕ’ ~ 68°) at night hours. The location of auroral zones in the northern and southern hemispheres at day and night hours are given.
