The Northern Lights are like a sky party caused by tiny space travelers. When particles from the sun zoom down to Earth, they crash into our atmosphere and make it light up with colors. People who live near the North Pole, like in Norway or Alaska, usually get to see them because they’re closer to where the magic happens.
Examples
- A child in Alaska sees green and pink lights dancing across the sky on a cold winter night.
- A family in Norway is amazed as shimmering purple lights swirl above their cabin.
- A traveler in Iceland snaps photos of glowing blue ribbons in the sky during the midnight sun.
