The sun's surface is primarily composed of plasma, which is a state of matter similar to gas but consists of charged particles, including ions and electrons. While it can exhibit gas-like properties, the high temperatures and pressures in the sun cause the atoms to become ionized, resulting in a plasma state. This plasma is responsible for various solar phenomena, such as solar flares and sunspots.

Is the suns surface a solid liquid or gas?

Most stars' surfaces are plasma. Plasma is the state of matter above gas, at which molecules move so rapidly that they generate an electric current. An example of plasma on Earth is lightning. Therefore, in layman terms, you could say that the sun's surface is made of lightning. Of course, that's not entirely accurate, but is certainly more so than liquid or gas.

What is The path of the photons through the suns plasma is called?

The path of photons through the Sun's plasma is called radiative diffusion. Photons travel through the Sun's plasma by bouncing off charged particles in a random walk pattern until they reach the surface and are emitted as sunlight.


Where plasma is present in the universe?

Plasma can occur anywhere where there is extreme heat, plasma is not a substance but the fourth state after solid, liquid and gas. It is effect superheated gas, an example is the glow on the nose of the shuttle as it re-enters the atmosphere, another is the surface of the sun.


Which state of matter has no open surface?

Plasma is a state of matter that does not have an open surface. It is a high-energy state where particles are ionized and do not have a defined boundary like a solid, liquid, or gas.


Why always gas can change into plasma?
