Plasma is a form of matter that is so hot that the atomic structure breaks down, and the atom loses its electrons (the nucleus remains intact). Plasmas glow, which can be seen in both lightning and fire. The ionized electrons emit light.

When was Physics of Plasmas created?
Physics of Plasmas was created in 1994.
What are some things that are made of plasma?
The stars, including the sun, are composed of plasma. The northern lights are natural plasmas. Fluorescent lights and neon signs are also some examples of plasma. Plasmas are also used in computer chips as well. Hoped this helped!!!
What produces both light and heat energy?
Sun,fire,lightning,light bulb
Are plasmas affected by magnetic fields?
Yes.
Particles do not have an orderly arrangement in what type of solid?
Gasses, or plasmas.
What are lightning and fire examples of?
Plasma is a form of matter that is so hot that the atomic structure breaks down, and the atom loses its electrons (the nucleus remains intact). Plasmas glow, which can be seen in both lightning and fire. The ionized electrons emit light.
Is lightning a solid liquid or a gas?
Well actually the answer is Plasma. Plasma is lightning, Aurora Borealis, and fire are plasmas. Plasma's are particles that have broken apart. They form when high energy plasma go into the atmosphere.
Name 3 examples of sources of ignition for a fire?
Spark, heat, & lightning.
Can you list 5 examples of plasma?
fire, lightning, star, solar wind and energy
Which state of matter exists only at high temperatures that are found in the sun and in lightning bolts?
Plasmas
Can plasmas be found in lighting?
yes but they can be changed into the plasma that reside in lightning but in lameist terms yes
What is fire a solid liquid or gas or neither?
fire is a thing called plasma, which is like a gas but the electrons are free, or something like that examples of plasma are: aurora, lightning, fire :)
What are example of plasma?
Artificially produced plasmas * Those found in plasma displays, including TVs * Inside fluorescent lamps (low energy lighting), neon signs[6] * Rocket exhaust * The area in front of a spacecraft's heat shield during reentry into the atmosphere * Inside a corona discharge ozone generator * Fusion energy research * The electric arc in an arc lamp, an arc welder or plasma torch * Plasma ball (sometimes called a plasma sphere or plasma globe) * Arcs produced by Tesla Coils (resonant air core transformer or disruptor coil that produces arcs similar to lightning but with Alternating Current rather than static electricity) * Plasmas used in semiconductor device fabrication including: Reactive Ion Etching, Sputtering, and Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition * Laser-produced plasmas (LPP), found when high power lasers interact with materials.Terrestrial plasmas * Fire * Lightning * Ball lightning * St. Elmo's fire * Sprites, elves, jets * The ionosphere * The polar auroraeSpace and astrophysical plasmas * The Sun and other stars(which are plasmas heated by nuclear fusion) * The solar wind * The interplanetary medium(the space between the planets) * The interstellar medium(the space between star systems) * The Intergalactic medium(the space between galaxies) * The Io-Jupiter flux tube * Accretion discs * Interstellar nebulae
Can your house catch fire by lightning?
Yes, it is possible for a house fire to be started by a lightning strike.
What is plasma an example of?
The sun, lightning, the ionosphere, fluorescent light bulb, stars, fire, plasma tv, and solar winds are examples of plasma.
What does standard fire policy cover?
Fire and lightning
What are two examples of plasma?
Artificial plasmas include:The electrified gas in a fluorescent lightThe electrified gas in a plasma ballFusion plasmaLaser plasmasNaturally occurring plasmas include:Terrestrialfirethe auroralightningthe ionosphere (part of the Earth's plasmasphere)Space plasmas includeThe matter making up the Sun and starsThe interplanetary medium (Solar Wind)The interstellar medium (space between the stars)The Intergalactic medium (space between galaxies)For more information, see:http://www.plasma-universe.com/
