The best example of plasma on earth is lightning. It's natural. The state of matter we call plasma exists at high temperatures. Those temperatures don't usually exist here, but they do for a brief second in a bolt of lightning.

Any electric arc creates plasma, and plasma metal cutting equipment can be found is shops around the world. The plasma is so hot that it zips through sheets and plates very quickly. This sustained plasma stream makes short work of cutting applications. We can also find plasma inside operating fluorescent lights. The gas atoms are not superheated, but have high enough energy at the low pressures to become a plasma.

Why can plasma not exist on Earth?

Plasma can exist on Earth, and in fact, it is the most common state of matter in the universe. Lightning, flames, and the sun are examples of plasma that exist on Earth. However, creating and containing plasma in controlled environments for practical applications can be challenging due to the high temperatures and magnetic fields required.
