Auroras

What Are Auroras?

Auroras are colorful lights that dance in the sky.
They look like curtains or ribbons of green, pink, or purple.
They appear at night when the sky is dark.

Why Do They Appear?

The Sun sends tiny particles to Earth.
When these particles meet the air high up, they make the lights glow.
The Earth’s magnetic field guides the particles to the poles.

Where Can You See Them?

Auroras are most often seen near the North Pole and South Pole.
Places like Alaska, Canada, Norway, and Antarctica are good spots.
You need clear, dark skies and a little patience.
