Neon and it's relation to japan
Although neon is ubiquitous, one of the places where it is the most commonly used is the country of Japan. Neon is produced by cooling liquid oxygen and then warming it, causing a gas to steam. Neon can be found inside this gas. Neon changes from gas to liquid at -245.92o C, and changes from a liquid to a solid at -248.60o C.
Japan uses neon because it is helpful for them in many ways. For example, Japan is commonly known for it's bright neon signs for advertising and marketing. The people who pay for these signs are the big businesses that want to help promote their products by advertising for the whole country to see. They pay the cities to put up the big neon signs. Eventually, that money goes back to the country and helps increase the country's budget.
Japan uses neon commonly even though it is quite expensive. One gram of neon can be bought for about $2.00 USD. This may seem cheap, but liquid neon can cost up to 55 times the price of liquid helium in small amounts.
