Northern Lights happen when tiny particles from the sun zoom through space and crash into Earth’s atmosphere. These collisions make the sky light up with dancing colors, like a magic show in the sky! Imagine throwing glitter at a blanket, that's kind of what happens up there.
Examples
- It's like when you turn on a flashlight inside a foggy room, and the light makes shapes appear all around you.
- Imagine throwing tiny sparks into a jar filled with colored balloons, each spark lights up one balloon in different colors.
- The sky becomes like a living canvas that changes color depending on how much sunlight is thrown at it.
