No, the Northern lights (Aurora borealis) occur in the thermosphere and mesosphere, which are the highest layers of the Earth's atmosphere. The troposphere is the lowest layer of the atmosphere and is where we live and experience weather. The thermosphere and mesosphere are much higher up and are characterized by very thin air and high temperatures. The Northern lights are caused by the interaction of charged particles from the Sun with the Earth's magnetic field in these higher layers of the atmosphere.
