The Northern Lights are like a sky party, they happen when tiny particles from the sun bounce around in Earth’s atmosphere. These particles light up the sky with beautiful colors, and you can see them if you’re near the North Pole. It’s like magic in the sky!
Examples
- A kid in Alaska sees shimmering green curtains in the sky while sledding.
- A grandparent on a trip to Norway points out colorful lights dancing above the forest.
