The study explores the relationship between auroral activity and sunspot cycles, indicating that auroras in higher latitudes show minimal seasonal variation, while those at lower latitudes expand during equinoxes. It suggests that the auroral belt contracts during low sunspot activity and expands during high activity, with increased sightings at southern stations correlating with higher sunspot numbers. However, systematic studies on this relationship are lacking, and the research calls for future data collection, particularly using all-sky cameras, to enhance understanding of auroral distributions.
