The sun and almost all stars are almost entirely plasma (i.e., over 99%) both by mass and by volume. This plasma consists mainly of electrons and protons (which would form hydrogen gas if the particles recombined), and also some heavier ions derived from other elements that have lost one or more of their electrons. We are familiar with the states of matter that include solids, liquids and gases. Plasma, which is the so-called "fourth state of matter" as we know them, exists when energy levels are so high that electrons are driven from their orbitals in the extremes of the temperatures. On earth, we encounter plasma in lightning, and also in a few other situations where temperatures are extremely high. Links can be found below for more information.

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.

What are some methods of containing plasma?

The plasma in a fluorescent light or plasma ball, is contained by glass. Fusion plasmas are too hot to contain in any "container", so it is contained by magnetic fields, The plasma in the sun is partly contained by gravity, though a proportion of it is lost as the Solar Wind.
