Most stars are in a plasma state, where the electrons are stripped from their atomic nuclei, forming an ionized gas. Big collapsing stars enter a degenerate state of matter, where protons absorb electrons to form neutrons, and the neutrons are packed together so tightly not even neutrinos can shine through. Such neutron stars are essentially really, really big atoms, even though their physical volume might be less than that of our puny earth.
What else can I help you with?
What state of matter is a star?
A star is in the plasma state of matter. Plasma is a hot, ionized gas made up of positively charged ions and free electrons. Stars generate energy through nuclear fusion in their core, where the extreme temperatures and pressures create plasma.
What is the state of matter in Proxima Centauri's surface?
Proxima Centauri's surface is believed to be in a plasma state, as it is a red dwarf star. This means that its atoms have been stripped of their electrons, creating a highly ionized and extremely hot environment.
Why is the sun considered ''the sun'' and not a star?
Nope. The sun is considered a star.
Which stars are composed of matter in which electrons have combined with protons?
Stars may collapse to such a degree, perhaps after a supernova, that, in the core, electrons are squashed into the nucleus, reacting with protons to form neutrons. A star of this collapsed state is called neutron stars.
Is the sun a star or a bowl of fire?
It's a star. The sun is a star, and like other stars it is composed of plasma, the fourth state of matter, and the most abundant form of matter in the universe. Like other stars, inside the core of the sun, nuclear fusion takes place in which hydrogen atoms are fused into helium atoms.
Is Andrea Bargani considered an NBA star?
He is an NBA player. "Star" is a matter of perspective.
What state of matter Proxima Centauris surface?
It is found to be in the fourth State of Matter - Plasma: Proxima Centauri is a Star.
What state of matter is not a conventional state?
There are infact two! In general plasma is not considered a "conventional" state of matter. Another that may be considered "unconventional" is a state known as a Bose-Einstein condensate. For more information on the states of matter, please see the related question.
What state of matter can be considered a fluid?
Liquid and gas
What is the state of matter called that exists in the extreme heat in the interrior of stars?
Star matter exists in the heightened state of plasma, a superheated state of matter in which electrons are not bound to the atoms as they usually would be.
What state of matter is Proxima Centauri surface?
It is a highly charged plasma.
Are there more than three states of matter?
Yes, plasma is considered a state of matter.
Why is energy not considered a state of matter?
Energy is not considered a state of matter because it is a property or characteristic of matter rather than a form of matter itself. Matter is composed of particles (atoms, molecules) that have mass and occupy space, while energy is a measure of the ability to do work or cause change in matter. So, energy and matter are distinct concepts in physics.
Particles in constant motion are considered what state of matter?
vagina
Is gas related to states of matter?
yes because gas is matter everything on earth has matter so its considered a state of matter
The sixth state of matter?
There are only four states of matter: Liquid, solid, gas, and plasma. However, plasma is uncommon on Earth, so it is not considered a state a matter.
At what state would matter be incompressible?
degenerate matter would be incompressible. This would not be ordinarily met with, but is considered to be the material of a neutron star. Where, upon the collapse of a giant star, the gravitational forces would collapse all the neutron matter to a solid. Fond subject of sci-fi writers, e.g. Larry Niven (I think) wrote a story with the title Neutron Star, which will give a rough guide to the supposed physics.
