The Northern Lights are like a sky show caused by tiny particles from the Sun. When these particles hit Earth’s atmosphere, they light up with pretty colors. Sometimes you can see them all the way down to places near the equator if it's really special.
Examples
- A child in Alaska sees glowing green lights dancing across the sky.
- During a big solar storm, people in Scotland watch the sky light up with shimmering colors.
- An astronaut floating above Earth sees the Northern Lights from space like a beautiful halo around the planet.
