Plasma is a form of matter that is so hot that the atomic structure breaks down, and the atom loses its electrons (the nucleus remains intact). Plasmas glow, which can be seen in both lightning and fire. The ionized electrons emit light.

What are example of plasma?

Artificially produced plasmas * Those found in plasma displays, including TVs * Inside fluorescent lamps (low energy lighting), neon signs[6] * Rocket exhaust * The area in front of a spacecraft's heat shield during reentry into the atmosphere * Inside a corona discharge ozone generator * Fusion energy research * The electric arc in an arc lamp, an arc welder or plasma torch * Plasma ball (sometimes called a plasma sphere or plasma globe) * Arcs produced by Tesla Coils (resonant air core transformer or disruptor coil that produces arcs similar to lightning but with Alternating Current rather than static electricity) * Plasmas used in semiconductor device fabrication including: Reactive Ion Etching, Sputtering, and Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition * Laser-produced plasmas (LPP), found when high power lasers interact with materials.Terrestrial plasmas * Fire * Lightning * Ball lightning * St. Elmo's fire * Sprites, elves, jets * The ionosphere * The polar auroraeSpace and astrophysical plasmas * The Sun and other stars(which are plasmas heated by nuclear fusion) * The solar wind * The interplanetary medium(the space between the planets) * The interstellar medium(the space between star systems) * The Intergalactic medium(the space between galaxies) * The Io-Jupiter flux tube * Accretion discs * Interstellar nebulae


Is lightning a solid liquid or a gas?

Well actually the answer is Plasma. Plasma is lightning, Aurora Borealis, and fire are plasmas. Plasma's are particles that have broken apart. They form when high energy plasma go into the atmosphere.

The sun, lightning, the ionosphere, fluorescent light bulb, stars, fire, plasma tv, and solar winds are examples of plasma.


What are examples of liquid solid gas or plasma?

Liquid: water. Solid: a chair, a dish - in fact, most of the objects in your home. Gas: the air we breathe. Plasma: You won't normally find it close to you. The Sun and other stars are made up of plasma. It an also be produced in laboratories.

Fire and lightning


What are some things that are made of plasma?

The stars, including the sun, are composed of plasma. The northern lights are natural plasmas. Fluorescent lights and neon signs are also some examples of plasma. Plasmas are also used in computer chips as well. Hoped this helped!!!


Can your house catch fire by lightning?

Yes, lightning can cause a house to catch fire if it strikes the building or ignites flammable materials such as wood or roof shingles. It is important to have proper lightning protection in place to reduce the risk of fire.


Is lightning made out of fire?

No, lightning is not made out of fire. Lightning is an electrical discharge that occurs during a thunderstorm, caused by the buildup and release of electric charge in the atmosphere. It is extremely hot and can cause things to catch fire, but it is not fire itself.
