Yes, it is recommended to earth the kitchen fluorescent light fixture for safety purposes. Earthing, also known as grounding, helps to prevent electrical shocks in the event of a fault or short circuit in the electrical system. It provides a safe path for current to flow into the ground, protecting both individuals and appliances.
Fluorescent light fixtures are generally used in the kitchen, probably due to the efficiency of energy use of the flourescent lights, but they can be mounted practically everywhere.
Fluorescent light bulbs use phosphors to convert ultraviolet light into visible light.
The UV light is different to that of fluorescent light. The UV originates from the sun. The latter one does not.No, it is not. UV is different.
It depends on the lighting fixture and the layout of your kitchen, since most of the work in a kitchen is "task oriented" the wattage should be the same as for reading. To efficiently light a kitchen there should be several sources of light, at least 100 watt or equivalent (from each source), depending on the type of bulbs, would be my recommendation.
The phosphor in a fluorescent light bulb converts ultraviolet light emitted by the mercury vapor into visible light. This process creates the bright, white light that we see when a fluorescent bulb is turned on.

In some situations, yes. They are the strip lights which light up most public buildings and our kitchen.
Examples of electrical loads in the kitchen that convert electrical energy to light energy include light fixtures, under cabinet lighting, and range hood lights. These devices typically use light bulbs, LEDs, or fluorescent tubes to produce light for illumination purposes in the kitchen.
Anything that excites the gas in a fluorescent will make it light. Static electricity from the carpet will cause compact fluorescent to light.
Which state helps produce light in fluorescent lightbulbs?
A 15-watt fluorescent should produce about as much light as a 75-watt incandescent.

when the tube ends blacken after failure of the tube heaters
last longer and cost less on your bill
No it does not
Fluorescent is more efficient. Incandescent bulbs should not be used any more, except for some special purposes (mainly where they keep something warm).
