The Northern Lights happen when particles from the sun crash into Earth's atmosphere. Imagine tiny balls of energy zooming through space like a game of tag, and when they hit our sky, they make it light up with pretty colors! But why are they special? Well, in places like the North Pole, there’s more magic going on, that’s why we call them the Northern Lights, and they look different from other auroras elsewhere.
Examples
- A rainbow in the sky that moves like it’s dancing, that's the Northern Lights!
- The lights sometimes look like they're whispering or singing to you, especially when there are different colors.
