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
What else can I help you with?
Each state of matter is also known as?
The three states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas. These states are based on the arrangement of particles and how they interact with each other. Additionally, plasma is considered a fourth state of matter.
Is plasma part of the solid liquid and gas group?
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.
Is a solid substance not considered matter?
of course it is. All substances are matter.
What state of matter is shampoo?
Shampoo is typically in the liquid state of matter.
Name something that is considered matter?

Is lightning considered a liquid solid or gas?
A lightning bolt is plasma, a fourth state of matter.
Idenify the three states of matter?
The three states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas. ...and occassionally Plasma is considered a fourth state.

What is the next word for liquid solid gas and matter?
The next word in the sequence "liquid, solid, gas, matter" could be "states," referring to the different states of matter. Alternatively, it might be "plasma," which is often considered the fourth state of matter. The context of the sequence can influence the interpretation.
What are the third and fourth states of matter?
you mean the four states of matter? it's solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. Solid, liquid, and gas is the most common, though.
What are the physical forms of matter called?
The physical forms of matter are classified into three main states: solid, liquid, and gas. In addition to these, scientists also recognize a fourth state, plasma, which is a highly ionized and electrically conductive form of matter.
What are all the phases of matter?
solid-liquid-gas Fourth one is plasma ie ionic state of matter.
What matter is jello stated in?
Jello is considered a solid for the most part, before it is refrigerated it would be considered a liquid.
How many states of matter do you have?
most commonly referred to in chemistry are three : liquid solid and gas....but further investigations have lead scientists to believe a fourth kind defined as plasma can be considered as a state of matter.

What state of matter is the solar wind?
The solar wind is a stream of charged particles (mostly electrons and protons) that emanates from the Sun. Therefore, it is considered a plasma, which is the fourth state of matter distinct from solid, liquid, and gas.
What is plasma consired to be the state of matter?
Simply speaking, it has real existence, and is neither liquid, gas, or solid. Plasma is just the name we give to this state of matter. The fourth state of matter is a Bose-Einstein Condensate.
