S tars are oceans of plasma, much like Earth's seas. Two main types of matter rarely found on Earth—Plasma and Degenerate matter—make up stars. Today, we'll explore the materials stars are made of. Welcome to our blog discussing cosmic objects with minimal math. Introduction: AI Generated Thumbnail As children, we heard the sun described as a giant fireball. Scientists call it a nuclear furnace made of plasma. While star discussions often dive into the core, we'll focus on stellar surface activities involving plasma and degenerate matter. Imagine us standing on a beach, talking about the sea and its waves. Before diving into plasma, the fourth state of matter, let's review how atoms behave in different states. On Earth, matter exists as solid, liquid, and gas, shaped by heat energy. Molecules form when atoms b...
