Plasma might be considered part of the solid, liquid and gas group. That's because, like a solid, a liquid or a gas, a plasma is another state of matter. It could be treated as a fluid, as gases and liquids are often considered. Plasma is another state of matter that might be said to be "beyond" gas. If we superheat a substance greatly and drive electrons out of their orbitals around parent atoms, we end up with a plasma.

Plasma is generally considered the fourth state of matter by physicists. A material that is "cool" enough to exist as a solid can be heated and undergo a change of state to become a liquid. Heat that substance more and it becomes a gas. Heat it yet more and it becomes ionized particles we call a plasma. Use the link below to learm more about the fourth state of matter.

What is considered the fourth state of matter after solid liquid and gas?

Plasma is another state of matter, but not found on our earth. Plasma reaches fairly high temperatures and can be found in the sun, or other stars:)Edit: Err... that's WAY off... plasma is found ALL OVER Earth, though it is rarely present for extended periods of time. High-heat flames can cause formation of plasma, and electrical current can also produce plasma (if you've ever seen those ball things that have what looks like "lightning" shooting around in them, that's actually basically what it is, only with a much lower electrical current that isn't in the slightest bit dangerous to a human, but the visible part of it is actually plasma). The visible part of lightning is plasma, as is any visible electrical current.So, no, plasma is not only found away from earth. It can be formed by burning things at fairly high temperatures e.g. gas flames, or by exciting gasses with electrical currents.e.g. discharge lamps
