Noble gases are used in lights because they are inert and do not react with other elements, making them stable and safe. When electricity passes through the gases, they emit colorful light due to the energy released during the process. This makes noble gases like neon, argon, and xenon popular choices for creating bright and vibrant lighting displays.

Noble gases glow because when they are put into a chemical current, the outer energy levels are added with more electrons causing them to give out another energy level.
