Hot plasma
Hot plasma is a state of matter where gases are heated so intensely that electrons are stripped from atoms, creating a mixture of charged particles called ions and free electrons. This high energy state is found in environments like the Sun's core, solar flares, and fusion reactors. The extreme temperatures cause the particles to move rapidly, resulting in unique electrical and magnetic properties. Unlike solids, liquids, or gases, plasma conducts electricity and responds strongly to magnetic fields, making it essential for understanding astrophysical phenomena and developing advanced energy sources.
