The 4th State of Matter

A state of matter with which we are less familiar with on Earth is plasma.

Plasma, the fourth state of matter believed to account for 99% of all visible matter, is an incredibly hot gas-like  state, made up of free ions and electrons that can carry an electrical current.

The 4th state of matter is by far the most common in the Universe.

Stars are made of plasma.

Sometimes we use plasma on Earth.  In neon lights, plasma TV and other applications.

It also occurs when lightning strikes.
