  • If a gas temperature is raised to over 10,000° it will reach its plasma state. The air that constitutes our atmosphere is in the gaseous state. Above the atmosphere, the magnetosphere, matter exists in the plasma state. http://www.gi.alaska.edu/ScienceForum/ASF0/065.html
  • Plasma is the state in which all the atoms are separated and ionized. It is definitely not solid or liquid. It also differs from gas in that the outer electrons have been stripped of the atoms, so that there is a mix of ionised atoms and electrons floating round. You cannot have water in a plasma state because to become a plasma the hydrogen and oxygen atoms have been split apart. If you heat water up to a plasma temperature, you end up with a mix of hydrogen and oxygen ions and free electrons - a hydrogen-oxygen plasma.
