| Domain | Definition |
Geography | The location of auroras at a particular instant, which may greatly differ from the statistically determined auroral zone since auroras tend to be distributed in an instantaneous belt that is not concentric with the latter. Source: European Union. (references) |
Solar | An oval band around each geomagnetic pole which is the locus of structured AURORAe. (references) |
Space | The region in which aurora appears at the same time, corresponding to the "ring of fire" around the magnetic pole, often observed by satellite cameras. It resembles a circle centered a few hundred kilometers nightward of the magnetic pole, and its size varies with magnetic activity. During large magnetic storms it expands greatly, making auroras visible at regions far from the pole, where they are a rare occurence. (references) |
| The pattern of auroral light around the north and south poles. The auroral oval expands and contracts over a period of hours and days, depending on geomagnetic activity. (references) | |
