Why does liquid evaporate?
A substance changes from liquid to gas during evaporation because energy is absorbed. Evaporation is an important part of the water cycle.
What are the four states of matter and describe them?
Solid: Molecules are close together and attracd to each, evenly space and are rigidly fix. Force is transimitted in a straight direction. A solid will retain its shape outside of its container. Gas: Molecules are losely arrange and are not rigidly attracted to each other. Force is transmitted equally and evenly in all directions when comfined. It will not retain the shape of it's contain if left unconfinned. It will assume the shape of its contianer. Liquid: Moeclues are similar to gas whose molecules are semi-rigid and evenly spaced. It transmitts force the sam as a gas and assume the shape of its container. Plasma: Acts similar as a gas but can be made to become rigid like a solid. It is what some would say is a combination of a solid and gas. Solid: Molecules are close together and attracd to each, evenly space and are rigidly fix.

What are 3 states of matter and properties?
There are currently 5 known states of matter: solid, liquid, gas, plasma and Bose-Einstein condensates.Solids have a definite volume and shape. They cannot be compressed as the molecules in a solid are very closely packed due to strong intermolecular forces that bond the molecules together. They expand when heated and contract when cooled. When heated, the molecules vibrate more and more vigorously in their places as the temperature increases.Liquids are fluid matter, such as seawater and paint. They have a definite volume, however have no definite shape, as the intermolecular forces are not as strong as those in solids to bond the molecules together. Hence, the molecules will move around the container when tilted to reach a horizontal level (plane). They can be compressed, however only to a small extent. Like solids they expand when heated and contract when cooled (a notable exception to this is water between 0 and 4°C).Gases do not have a definite volume and shape, thus able to fill up anything, such as the atmosphere. They can be compressed as the intermolecular forces are weak. The gas molecules are spaced far apart, and they move in a continuous and random motion. Their speed varies according to the temperature and the number of atoms. The higher the temperature or the less the atoms, the faster they move. They bounce away from any other molecules (gas, dust or smoke), thus have no fixed motion. This is called Brownian Motion. Diffusion is greatly present, where the molecules will diffuse in the air till it reaches a state of equilibrium. Gas also expands greatly when heated and contracts greatly when cooled.Plasma is the superheated phase where electrons become so excited they can escape from the atom (ionization). It is the rarest phase of matter on Earth although it is the most common in the universe. The gas state can be natural (lightning and the Sun) or man-made (fluorescent light tubes).Examples of Bose-Einstein Condensates are superconductors and superfluids. These are materials that are cooled till they almost reach absolute zero (0 K, -273.15­°C). Superconductors are materials (solids) that have no resistance to the flow of electricity, such as superconducting metals, alloys and compounds (alloy of Niobium and Titanium). They are extremely cooled, and can repel a magnetic field. Superfluids are elements with very low boiling points, cooled so much that they are now liquid and have strange behaviors. Liquid helium, for example, is cooled until it can actually "creep" up the walls of a smaller container placed inside a larger container to enter and then form its own horizontal level. Some superfluids are also able to slow light's moving speed down; while this is not a unique property, the degree of the slowing (from 299792458ms-1 down to around 17ms-1) is quite astonishing.Gas, liquid and solid are states of matter.Density is not a state of matter.what is the different state of matter
What state of matter is fire?
Fire is not a state of matter.Instead it is a chemical reaction called combustion If something burns combustion combines the burning matter with oxygen and produces intense heat.Edited/improved by: SwordstooFire is neither liquid/solid/gas, instead, it is another form called PLASMA, the universe is made up of 99% of plasma, plasma is made up in extremely high temperatures like the sun and stars, scientists use this plasma theory to the big bang theory. plasma is only just a theory, but is one just like most other things scientists have concluded. until we can get inside the nucleus (also a theory) we cannot really prove anything.
The four states of matter?
The four states of matter are Solid, Liquid, Gas and Plasma.The state of matter of a substance depends on its temperature and pressure. Three of these states of matter are things you talk about or experience every day, but the plasma state occurs at very high temperatures, as are found in lighting strikes; and in stellar environments.Our Sun, like all stars, is mostly composed of a hot dense plasma.Our Sun fills our solar system with the solar wind, a weak, thin plasma.*There is a unique "fifth state" that not all matter can exist in : Bose-Einstein condensates, in which extraordinarily supercooled dilute gas takes on unique properties due to quantum effects.*There are also various indeterminate states, such as amorphous solids, liquid crystals, and superfluids, whose properties do not necessarily reflect their apparent physical state.
Is the sun gas or liquid or solid?
the suns a gas
Is the sun solid liquid gaseous?
Gas Gas
Is the sun solid or liquid or gaseous?
Gas Gas
Will the sun melt?
No. Melting is the change from a solid to a liquid. The sun is not solid; it is made of superheated gas.
Does liquid solid or gases make up majority of the sun?
The sun is neither solid or liquid. The sun is a gas ball of reacting Hydrogen into Helium. Gas. Mostly Hydrogen. That's about all I know!
Is copper a solid or liquid or gas?
It depends on the temperature, however, at standard and room temperature, copper is a solid.
Is solar energy a solid liquid or gas?
No. Solid, liquid, and gas are states of matter, not energy. - - -- --- Matter (things) have energy (not things), and things can be solid, liquid, gas, or the fourth state of matter, called plasma. Most of the sun is plasma, but about 9% of it is gaseous.
What is four state of matter?
Solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. plasma is commonly found in lightning strikes, florescent light bulbs, and on the sun
When does phase changes occur?
When a solid melts or changes to a liquid. When a liquid boils or changes to a gas. or the reverse when a gas condenses to a liquid or a liquid freezes to a solid. Also it is possible for a solid to go directly to a gas without passing through the liquid stage. This is called sublimation and can occur with sulfur when heated, or ice in the winter when the sun shines on it..
What is the coolest part of the sun?
The highest temperatures of solid/liquid/gas in the sun are found in the core, but the hottest plasma is in the corona.
How well can light from the sun travel through a solid liquid gas and a vacuum?
I wouldn't say to well
What is largely made of gas the Earth Sun or The Moon?
The Earth and the Moon are not made mostly of gas but the Sun is.
