Plasma is a state of matter made of charged particles. It is different from solids, liquids, and gases. Plasma is found in very hot environments where matter exists in an energetic form. It is the most common state of matter in the universe.

Plasma is found in stars, including the Sun, and in outer space. It also appears on Earth in lightning and in some types of artificial lights, such as neon signs. These examples show plasma in both natural and human-made settings.

Plasma occurs at very high temperatures and is part of many environments in space. It is present in galaxies, stars, and other cosmic structures. On Earth, it can be seen in certain natural events and technologies.
