Best Answer

Yes. Stars are plasma.

Lightning is interesting. A conductive path between (typically) ground and some spot in the sky slowly grows as the potential difference breaks down air and turns it into a plasma. Since plasma is highly conductive, it is this phase-transition that causes the lighting strike by transferring a massive number of electrons that nulls the potential difference.

Is it true that lightning can make plasma?

Yes. It is the plasma that makes the bolt visible.


Why aren't lightning bolts straight?

Lightning bolts are not straight because they are looking for the path of least resistance Lightning bolts want to find the path of least resistance so they can make it to the ground faster. Lightning bolts are zig-zag because they are finding the easiest path to the ground.


Is thunder the sound lightning bolts make i really need help?

Thunder is the sound created by lightning. The sound is generated by rapidly expanding gas near the electric arc of a lightning bolt.


Where does lightning occur mostly?

Lightning will show up in lightning storms. Lightning storms usually occur in summer or warm places. The bolts will travel the shortest path they can so make sure you aren't near or are the tallest object around!

What process that create energy in stars?

The energy in stars is created when hydrogren plasma, under extreme pressure and temperature, fuses to make helium plasma. The difference in mass between hydrogren and helium is also a difference in binding energy, which is released during the ongoing fusion reaction.


What are facts about plasma?

Plasma is that state of matter where the matter is totally ionized in the form of ions and electrons, and there is no interaction between the ions or electrons at such high temperatures. For an ionic state to occur in nature, a high amount of energy is needed, but in some cases, it can be low. Plasma is the most common state of matter in the universe. Examples of plasma include solar wind, lightning, the gases in neon signs, welding arcs, interstellar gas clouds and the tails of comets. Over 99% of the matter in the visible universe is believed to be plasma. Plasma is a better conductor of electricity than copper. Stars (including the Sun) are mostly made of plasma. Plasma is usually very hot because it takes very high temperatures to break the bonds between electrons and the nuclei of the atoms. On earth lightning and aurora make plasma. Artificial (man-made) uses of plasma include fluorescent lightbulbs, neon signs, and plasma displays used for television or computer screens. Scientists are experimenting with plasma to make a new kind of nuclear power, called fusion, which would be much better and safer than ordinary nuclear power, and would produce much less radioactive waste.
