The sun and almost all stars are almost entirely plasma (i.e., over 99%) both by mass and by volume. This plasma consists mainly of electrons and protons (which would form hydrogen gas if the particles recombined), and also some heavier ions derived from other elements that have lost one or more of their electrons. We are familiar with the states of matter that include solids, liquids and gases. Plasma, which is the so-called "fourth state of matter" as we know them, exists when energy levels are so high that electrons are driven from their orbitals in the extremes of the temperatures. On earth, we encounter plasma in lightning, and also in a few other situations where temperatures are extremely high. Links can be found below for more information.

Do the sun contain plasma?

Yes, the sun is primarily composed of plasma, which is a state of matter consisting of ionized gas with free-moving charged particles. About 74% of the sun's mass is hydrogen, and 24% is helium, both in plasma form due to the extremely high temperatures and pressures in the sun's core. This plasma is responsible for the sun's nuclear fusion processes, producing energy that powers the sun and emits light and heat.

Is plasma used in plasma TVs?

Yes. The cells in a plasma TV contain a mixture of gases that are typically found in neon lights. When a current is passed through the cell, it ionizes the gas, turning it into a partially ionized plasma. This plasma differs from the plasma found in the Sun, stars, and interplanetary, which is typically fully ionized, and hotter.
