Gas
4th state of matter that occurs naturally in the interiors of starts. A gaseous state of matter that contains appreciable numbers of electrically charged particles.
Plasma
How is Plasma formed?
By heating gas to searing temperatures. When heated, the atoms in the gas either gain or lose electrons (ionization) and the end result is a charges particle plasma/
