Why calcium turns to red in the flame test?

Because, due to the absorption of heat energy by the calcium atom in the flame. The electrons in the atom get promoted to a higher energy level, and exist in an unstable excited state. As they are unstable and prefer to be at their normal ground state, the extra energy that the electrons absorbed to be promoted in the first place is emitted in the form of a photon, light. The light emitted from the electrons of the calcium atoms will be at a specific wavelength, which is the red light you see emitted from the flame.
