Answer:

I don't know what you are looking for, but the reason a fluorescent tube lights is not unlike how the atmosphere lights. A disconnected tube, given a static charge, will glow. If you have one of the old tube TV sets, the kind that gets static electricity when you turn it off, you can often light a bulb by holding the metal prongs near the TV set's tube.
