SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -The material in the sun and its atmosphere–as well as the material in the aurora and fluorescent lights–are all plasmas. Plasma is a state of matter much like solid, liquid and gas.

Detailed explanation-2: -corona, outermost region of the Sun’s atmosphere, consisting of plasma (hot ionized gas). It has a temperature of approximately two million kelvins and an extremely low density. The corona continually varies in size and shape as it is affected by the Sun’s magnetic field.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plasma is often called “the fourth state of matter, ‘’ along with solid, liquid and gas. Just as a liquid will boil, changing into a gas when energy is added, heating a gas will form a plasma – a soup of positively charged particles (ions) and negatively charged particles (electrons).

Detailed explanation-4: -Such a highly ionized gas is called a plasma. So, although it is common to see the Sun referred to as a gaseous body, a more specific description is that it is made of plasma. In this case, the plasma consists of hydrogen and helium ions, together with the electrons that were liberated when those ions were produced.”

Detailed explanation-5: -The chromosphere is the middle layer of the sun’s atmosphere. It is above the photosphere and below the corona. It contains both hydrogen and calcium.
