Illuminating gas

Illuminating gas is like a magic potion that helps light up homes and streets. It is made from special ingredients that are mixed together and then heated up until they become a gas.

The gas is then stored in tanks and pipes and sent to homes and businesses where it is used to provide light.

When the gas is turned on, it passes through special devices called burners that have a flame inside. This flame ignites the gas and makes it glow bright yellow or blue like a star.

Before electricity was invented, illuminating gas was the most popular way to light up homes and streets. It was a very important invention because it allowed people to work and live safely during the nighttime.
