Detailed explanation-1: -But what about plasma? It’s the most abundant state of matter in the universe, but plasma can’t exist for long under normal terrestrial conditions. Out in space, exotic plasmas can occur inside white dwarfs, large planets like Jupiter, and the Sun and other large stars.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plasmas are by far the most common phase of ordinary matter in the universe, both by mass and by volume. Above the Earth’s surface, the ionosphere is a plasma, and the magnetosphere contains plasma.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plasma is not a common state of matter here on Earth, but it may be the most common state of matter in the universe, according to the Jefferson Laboratory (opens in new tab). Stars like the sun are essentially superheated balls of plasma. Plasma consists of highly charged particles with extremely high kinetic energy.
