Click on one of the circles that represents a positive gas ion in the plasma ball.
Click here to learn how it works!
When electrical charges move from the electrode through the gas, they give the gas atoms energy. The atoms get rid of this extra energy by giving off light.
Click on one of the streams of light in the plasma ball.
Click here to learn how it works!
The color that a plasma ball glows depends on the type of gases inside the plasma ball. Most plasma balls have a mixture gases that might include neon, argon, xenon, and krypton.
Click on the plasma ball you like the most.
