🔬 Science Element

The aurora (Northern or Southern Lights) happens when charged particles from the Sun are guided by Earth's magnetic field into the upper atmosphere. There, they collide with gas molecules and make them glow in colors like green, pink, and purple. The lights seem to dance because the solar wind and magnetic field keep shifting.
