Both. The upper mantle is solid and the lower mantle is liquid.

Technically, most of the volume of outer space is filled with what is called plasma. This is like gas but the nucleus and electrons of the atoms are floating separately and it does not follow the same science laws as gas. There are various theories on why the atoms are split up, involving heat from stars, ancient supernova explosions, or even more ancient quasars.

The rest of space is gas and dust. The dust is little solid particles. Nobody knows the exact percentages of plasma, gas, or dust in space. However, space has so little matter that it is mostly just empty, with nothing in a typical cubic centimeter.

How do you explain when a state of matter is said to have definite volume?

A liquid or solid will not take up a larger space than the space it occupies; even if more space is freely available.On the other hand, both a liquid and a solid are incompressible, for most practical purposes; that is, you can't compress it to use less space than the space it uses, either.A liquid or solid will not take up a larger space than the space it occupies; even if more space is freely available.On the other hand, both a liquid and a solid are incompressible, for most practical purposes; that is, you can't compress it to use less space than the space it uses, either.A liquid or solid will not take up a larger space than the space it occupies; even if more space is freely available.On the other hand, both a liquid and a solid are incompressible, for most practical purposes; that is, you can't compress it to use less space than the space it uses, either.A liquid or solid will not take up a larger space than the space it occupies; even if more space is freely available.On the other hand, both a liquid and a solid are incompressible, for most practical purposes; that is, you can't compress it to use less space than the space it uses, either.

It is solid as it doesn't flow like a liquid or has vast space between its molecules like gases.

Is gas solid or liquid?

There is three states of matter.Solid,Liquid and gas. So nope. Gas is neither solid nor liquid. It is a matter becoz it occupy space.
