To answer your question briefly, when electricity (ie electrons) pass through neon they 'excite' (give energy too) other electrons. Unfortunately Electrons can only have certain discrete energy levels in an atom, if they are excited they will momentarily increase their energy and occupy an unallowed energy level in the atom, this means they are unstable and so to get back to their previous energy level they must let a little bit of their energy go. They let this go by releasing Electromagnetic radiation (this is what light is part of), and dependant on how much of energy is released determines what colour light you will see. Fortunately when the electrons in neon get excited they release EM radiation with the right level of energy for our eyes to interpret it as red light.
I hope this answers your question satisfactorily, if you want it in any more detail then please ask.

What else can I help you with?
Are semiconductors noble gases?
No, semiconductors are not noble gases. Semiconductors are a type of material that can conduct electricity under certain conditions, while noble gases are a group of non-reactive elements in the periodic table.
What causes noble gases to light up and give off their distinctive color?
Noble gases light up and give off their distinct colors when electricity is passed through them, causing their electrons to become excited. As the electrons return to their stable state, they release energy in the form of light. Each noble gas emits a unique color based on the specific energy levels of its electrons.
Why noble gases does not conduct electricity?
They are insulators of heat and electricity
What is an interesting fact about noble gases?
Noble gases are colorless, odorless, and tasteless, making them very stable and unreactive. They are often used in lighting, such as neon signs and neon lights, due to their ability to emit colorful light when excited by electricity.
What are the physical properties of metals non metals and noble gases?
metals conduct heat, transmit electricity, and are usually ductile. non-metals do not conduct heat well, do not transmit electricity and can't be hammered into shapes. noble gases cannot combine with any other elements.

Does noble gases give fireworks the ability to glow?
Yes, noble gases contribute to the glow in fireworks. When energized by heat, the atoms of noble gases such as neon, argon, and helium emit light of various colors, creating the vibrant hues seen in fireworks displays.
Why do neon signs contain other noble gases besides neon?
Other noble gases such as argon or helium are often mixed with neon in neon signs to produce different colors and brightness levels. Each noble gas emits a unique color when an electric current passes through it, allowing for a variety of hues to be created in a neon sign. Additionally, mixing gases like argon can help enhance the overall brightness and longevity of the sign.
How active is noble gases?
Noble gases are chemically inert.
How are noble gases different than noble gases?

What are the nonmetals in nobel gases?
There are no metals in noble gases.All are gases in noble gases.
