Gas becomes a plasma when it is exposed to temperatures high enough that the electrons are stripped off.
This occurs most commonly when a space craft reenters the atmosphere.

What is the phase change from plasma to a gas?
The phase change from a plasma to a gas is called recombination.
Why is plasma in lighting?
Plasma is not in lightning, but rather lightning is plasma. Plasma is a state of matter, just like a solid, liquid, or gas. Plasma is a gas-like state made of very hot charged particles. The gases in the air are briefly converted to plasma then back to gas just like melting and refreezing ice.
Is carbon a solid liquid gas or plasma?
Carbon is a solid most of the time, but can be made into a liquid, gas, or plasma.
How do plasma cutters work?
Plasma cutters work by shooting a high-pressure gas through a hose and arcing electricity through the gas to create plasma. Basically, plasma cutters used high temperature gas and electricity to cut through metals.
What is difference between gas and plasma?
The difference between gas and plasma is the physical structure. The gas turns into a plasma when the gas becomes ionized and loses its positively charged particles. They are similar because they both have no definite shape, but plasma responds strongly to magnetic fields and also emits 5x the electricity it puts in.
How does gas become plasma?
Plasma can be made from gas if a lot of energy is pushed into the gas.
Does earth have plasma in it?
Plasma is technically the state of matter that exists "beyond" a gas. Solids are heated to become liquids, and liquids are heated to become gas. Heat a gas sufficiently and it becomes plasma. We usually don't find plasma in the earth. It's hot in the core, but the pressure is so high that a plasma cannot form.
What is it called when solid turns into plasma?
A solid can't transform directly into a plasma. A plasma is an ionized gas, usually at a very high temperature. A solid has to melt then be vaporized into a gas (or in a few cases, sublimate from solid to gas) before it can become a plasma.
Is the liquid inside a plasma tv posion?
There is no liquid inside a plasma television. The "plasma" refers to low pressure gas contained in cells that for the image. When the gas is excited by a voltage across it, it changes state from a gas to a plasma which will pass an electric current. At no time does it become a liquid.
How does gas turn into a plasma?
A gas can change state to become a plasma if it is given enough energy. Adding electrical energy or thermal energy will drive electrons off the gas atoms and ionize them. The ionized gas atoms are now a plasma. This change of state is a physical change, and not a chemical one. Lastly a plasma can be created at different temperatures, and this will depend on the gas atoms being heated to become a plasma.
Why always gas can change into plasma?
because the plasma is gas
Is plasma a gas with an electrical charge?
Yes, a plasma is a gas with an electrical charge.
What gases can be changed into plasma the easiest?
First of all gases cannot turn in to plasma, it is the electrons ripped off from the gas that turns into plasma. And to search for the gas that enables plasma to be formed the easiest is to find the gas that has the highest electric conductivity, because how else can you make plasma without electricity. The high electric conductivity can cause the electrical energy to become more effective on the gas, in other words gases with high electric conductivity can generate plasma faster and easier. The gas should be "Argon"
Is the sun a plasma or gas?
plasma
Is plasma solid?
None of the above. When you are learning science early on in school, they teach you that their are 3 states of matter - when you get into higher levels of science, they begin teaching you that there are 4. Plasma is the fourth state of matter that gets widely ignored by science teachers until you are in college prep classes.
What does the plasma in a plasma screen mean?
Plasma is an ionized gas.
Is a plasma is a gas with an electrical charge?
Yes, a plasma is a gas with an electrical charge.
