Plasma: The Mysterious Fourth State of Matter

Charged Soup: Plasma is made of free electrons and ions, unlike solids, liquids, or gases.
High Energy: It forms when gas gets so much energy that atoms lose their electrons.
Everywhere in Space: Over 99% of the visible universe—including stars—is plasma.
On Earth Too: Lightning bolts, neon signs, and plasma TVs all glow with plasma.
Glowing State: Plasma often shines because charged particles release light as they move.
Magnetic Marvel: Magnetic fields can trap, shape, and guide plasma streams.
Fusion Fuel: The Sun’s plasma drives nuclear fusion, powering our planet’s light and heat.
Plasma Technology: Scientists use plasma in medicine, industry, and futuristic energy research.
Not Just Fire: Though it glows, plasma isn’t fire—it’s a separate state of matter.
Dynamic Dance: Unlike gases, plasma can conduct electricity and respond to magnetic fields.
