Final answer:

Atoms release a particular color of light when they get excited, aiding in their identification in the universe.


Explanation:

When atoms get excited, they release a particular color of light.


Research on excited atoms has led to the identification of atoms in the universe by studying their emission spectra. When electrons in atoms are excited and then return to lower energy levels, they emit photons of specific colors. This phenomenon is used in spectroscopy to analyze the composition of substances by studying the emitted light.
