The Northern Lights are like a fireworks show in the sky. The Sun sends tiny charged particles traveling through space, and when they reach Earth, they collide with gases in our atmosphere. These collisions make the air glow in colors, usually green or blue, creating beautiful light shows above the poles.
Examples
- The Northern Lights glow like an invisible fire in the sky during winter nights.
