It depends which ion you are referring to. The term "ion" in chemistry refers to an atom or molecule where the total number of electrons is not equal to the total number of protons, giving it a net positive or negative electrical charge. Since protons are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged, if there are more electrons than protons, the atom or molecule will be negatively charged. This is called an anion. Conversely, if there are more protons than electrons, the atom or molecule will be positively charged. This is called a cation. If an ion contains unpaired electrons, it is called a radical ion. Just like neutral radicals, radical ions are very reactive. Ions are generally commonly seen in solution, for example with sodium chloride in water, where Cl- and Na+ ions exist, unviewable by the naked eye.
You may be thinking of plasma ions. In physics, plasma is a collection of non-aqueous gas-like ions, or even a gas containing a proportion of charged particles, is called a plasma, often called the fourth state of matter because its properties are quite different from solids, liquids, and gases. Plasma is a partially ionized gas, in which a certain proportion of electrons are free rather than being bound to an atom or molecule. Plasma glows, generally due to the face that ionized molecules have electrons that have been excited to a higher atomic state, and upon those electrons returning to its normal state, will release light of different colors, depending on the level of excitation. These are also ions, however they are a different category in itself.
Any substance that dissociates into ions in water, such as salt (sodium chloride), will cause the light in a conductivity apparatus to glow. This is because the dissociated ions in the solution can conduct electricity, allowing the light to illuminate.
Yes, noble gases contribute to the glow in fireworks. When energized by heat, the atoms of noble gases such as neon, argon, and helium emit light of various colors, creating the vibrant hues seen in fireworks displays.
Yes, placing glow-in-the-dark items in the freezer can temporarily enhance their glow. Lower temperatures can slow down the chemical reactions that cause the glow, allowing the item to emit light for a longer period when removed from the cold environment.
Glow-in-the-dark things contain phosphors that absorb energy from light and release it slowly over time as visible light. Eventually, all the absorbed energy is released, causing the glow to fade. The duration of the glow depends on the quality and type of phosphors used.
In an acidic solution chromate ions are converted into dichromate ions.

The Sun emits electrically-charged particles called ions, which correspondingly move away from the Sun in a stream of plasma (ionized gas) known as the solar wind. As the plasma comes in contact with the Earth's magnetic field, the ions will be agitated into moving around the Earth. Some of the ions become trapped and will consequently interact with the Earth's ionosphere (an average of 60-80 miles above the surface), causing the ions to glow. This is the same principal as how a neon sign lights up. As electrons pass through the neon tubing, they glow, thus producing the light in a neon sign.
MgBr2 will cause the light bulb to glow brightly because it is an ionic compound that will dissociate into ions in solution, allowing for the flow of electric current necessary to light up the bulb. CH3OH is a covalent compound that will not dissociate into ions and therefore will not conduct electricity as effectively.

The word 'glow' is a noun as well as a verb. The noun glow is a concrete noun, a word for something that can be seen, such as the glow of the moon or the glow of candle light. However, the concrete noun 'glow' can be used in an abstract context, for example: We basked in the glow of his intellectual brilliance.
