What Causes Auroras and Why Do They Dance?

Imagine it’s a rainy day, and you’re playing with your friend in the water. The rain is like tiny charged particles from the Sun, they travel through space at super speed and hit Earth's magnetic field like a splash in a puddle. The magnetic field guides them down to the top of Earth, where they bump into gases in the sky, making them glow like neon lights. That’s how auroras are made!
