from Wikipedia :

Aristotle proposed a fifth element, aether, in addition to the four proposed earlier by Empedocles.

  • Earth, which is cold and dry; this corresponds to the modern idea of a solid.
  • Water, which is cold and wet; this corresponds to the modern idea of a liquid.
  • Air, which is hot and wet; this corresponds to the modern idea of a gas.
  • Fire, which is hot and dry; this corresponds to the modern idea of heat.
  • Aether, which is the divine substance that makes up the heavenly spheres and heavenly bodies (stars and planets).
