The Magic of the Northern Lights

The Northern Lights are like a giant magic show in the sky that happens near the North Pole.

Imagine millions of tiny invisible particles flying from the sun all the way to Earth.

When these particles crash into the air around our planet, they create the most amazing light

show you could ever see. The lights can be green, pink,

purple, red, or even blue. Green is the most common color and

it happens when the particles hit oxygen in the air. It's like a fireworks display but way

cooler because it dances across the entire sky. The lights move and swirl like giant

curtains blowing in the wind. Sometimes they look like ribbons twisting through space.
