The better question is does a glow stick glow longer in hot or cold environments. Here since its a chemical reaction heat acts as a catalyst and speeds up the process. So in warm weather you'll get brighter glow that lasts significantly shorter then a glow stick in a cold environment. Funny enough if you cool down a glow stick enough (about -60 F) then the process will stop altogether.

Do you put glow in the dark sticks in the dark or leave it in the light?

Glow sticks will show up better if you put them in the dark instead of leaving them in the light. Glow sticks are activated by breaking the tube inside and shaking them.


Why don't glow sticks last forever?

Glow sticks contain chemicals that undergo a chemical reaction to produce light. This reaction has a limited lifespan, and once all the chemical components have reacted, the glow stick will no longer produce light. This is why glow sticks do not last forever.


Are glow sticks exothermic or endothermic glow sticks?

Glow sticks are exothermic.Exothermic is when heat/energy is released. And that is exactly what glow sticks do. but the energy being released is in the form of light.

Does temperature affect the chemical reactions in glow sticks or light sticks?

Yes, temperature can affect the chemical reactions in glow sticks. Lower temperatures can slow down the reaction, making the glow stick glow less brightly but last longer. Higher temperatures can speed up the reaction, causing the glow stick to glow more brightly but fade more quickly.

Does putting glow in the dark stuff in the freezer really make it glow longer?

Yes, placing glow-in-the-dark items in the freezer can temporarily enhance their glow. Lower temperatures can slow down the chemical reactions that cause the glow, allowing the item to emit light for a longer period when removed from the cold environment.
