Answer 2

Atoms under great pressure with lots of light particles zinging around get stripped of their electrons (they become ionized). And because they are moving very fast, that is equivalent to high temperature. High temperature ionized atoms are what's known as the 4th state of matter (plasma).It's created by the fact that because of the intense energy of the sun, atoms lose their electrons. Like hydrogen, for example. If hydrogen loses its one electron, if is simply an atomic nucleus - a single proton. That proton fuses with other protons to make helium through nuclear fusion, releasing a tremendous amount of energy in the process, like a hydrogen bomb. That's your plasma.

Answer 3

'Plasma' is the term used to describe any highly ionized gas. That is, any gas that has had many (or all) of the electrons stripped away from their parent atoms. In the Sun this happens as the result of intense heat and radiation.

Answer 4

It is very hot. Collisions with high energy electrons or other atoms quickly strip any electrically neutral atoms of an electron. The flame of fire is a plasma too.
