Why are stars plasma?
There is a bit of a misconception here ... Plasma in itself is not a substance any more than "liquid" or "solid" or "gas" in itself is a specific substance. Plasma is a state of matter. Stars are hot glowing balls of gas in which intense pressure and heat (which results from the intense pressure) cause nuclear fussion. This causes them to glow. Many gases in the star are in the plasma phase, but they are not "made of plasma" so to speak. Stars are made mostly of hydrogen and helium, though white dwarves also contain carbon and stars even further in their life cycle contain iron.
What are some plasma objects?
The Sun is made out of Plasma like many other Stars in the Universe.
What is the form of matter common to stars and lightning?
plasma
Why is plasma the state of matter that is found in stars but is not common on earth?
Plasma is a very high energy state of matter that is usually only found at high temperatures. Stars are extremely hot, which easily allows the development of plasma. Earth is much cooler, which makes it difficult for plasma to form. Plasma can still be found in lightning bolts and fire.
What phase of matter exists naturally only in stars?
plasma
What do stars contain?
plasma
Do stars contain rock particles that shine?
Stars do not contain rock particles. Stars are made up of mostly hydrogen and helium gas in a plasma state. The energy and light from stars come from nuclear fusion reactions happening in their core.

Are stars made up of plasma?
Yes. Stars are made of plasma.
Is plasma used in plasma TVs?
Yes. The cells in a plasma TV contain a mixture of gases that are typically found in neon lights. When a current is passed through the cell, it ionizes the gas, turning it into a partially ionized plasma. This plasma differs from the plasma found in the Sun, stars, and interplanetary, which is typically fully ionized, and hotter.
Are stars and moons considered plasma?
Stars are made of plasma, but all known moons are solid.
A plasma must contain many what?
A Plasma must contain many ions and electrons.
What plasma contain?
Many things contain plasma mostly things in the sky.
What does SST tube contain plasma or serum?
plasma
How do plasma T.V.'s use plasma to produce their picture?
== == Yes. The cells in a plasma TV contain a mixture of gases that are typically found in neon lights. When a current is passed through the cell, it ionizes the gas, turning it into a partially ionized plasma. This plasma differs from the plasma found in the Sun, stars, and interplanetary, which is typically fully ionized, and hotter.
Do plasma screens really have plasma?
Yes. The cells in a plasma TV contain a mixture of gases that are typically found in neon lights. When a current is passed through the cell, it ionizes the gas, turning it into a partially ionized plasma. This plasma differs from the plasma found in the Sun, stars, and interplanetary, which is typically fully ionized, and hotter.
Does fire contain plasma?
it depend on how it starts most of them do have plasma
