Plasma is less common on Earth than the other states of matter because of the extreme temperatures it requires. Even though plasma is rare on Earth, it's the most common type of matter in the universe.

Which phase of matter is the least common on earth?

Plasma is the least common phase of matter on Earth. It requires very high temperatures to exist, so naturally occurring plasmas on Earth are relatively rare compared to solids, liquids, and gases. Examples of plasma on Earth include lightning, the sun's atmosphere, and some types of flames.

What are the three common states of matter?

There are currently 5 known states of matter. The three that most people are familiar with are solids, liquids and gasses. The two that are less familiar are plasma and Bose-Einstein condensate (which has only ever been created in the laboratory).


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 state of matter makes up 99 percent of all matter?

The most common state of matter in the universe is plasma. Plasma is a state of matter which consists of ionized gas. Although this phase of matter is rare in on earth, it makes up stars and is widespread throughout the universe.


Why liquids are less common than other two states of matter on earth?

Liquids are the least common of the four states of matter due to the temperatures/conditions in which they exist. Gases exist in a very high range of temperatures, as do solids, but liquids require specific temperature ranges (generally very small ones) in order to exist.
