- Plasma (physics) - Wikipedia
Plasmas are studied by the vast academic field of plasma science or plasma physics, including several sub-disciplines such as space plasma physics Plasmas can appear in nature in various forms and locations, with a few examples given in the following table:

Plasma might be mostly water, but it’s still one of the most essential substances in your body It’s what gives your blood the ability to flow as a liquid, and it carries everything that your cells need to survive
- Plasma | Physics, State of Matter, Facts | Britannica
Plasma, in physics, an electrically conducting medium in which there are roughly equal numbers of positively and negatively charged particles, produced when the atoms in a gas become ionized

Plasma is the yellow-colored, liquid component that makes up most of the blood It helps with immunity, blood clotting, maintaining blood pressure, blood volume, and pH balance in the body

Plasma is superheated matter – so hot that the electrons are ripped away from the atoms forming an ionized gas It comprises over 99% of the visible universe In the night sky, plasma glows in the form of stars, nebulas, and even the auroras that sometimes ripple above the north and south poles
- DOE Explains. . . Plasma - Department of Energy
Plasma is one of the four states of matter, along with gases, liquids, and solids Most people don’t think about plasma in their daily lives the way they think about other states of matter, but it makes up 99% of the visible matter in the universe
- Science Made Simple: What Is Plasma? - SciTechDaily
Plasma, making up 99% of the visible universe, exists predominantly in stars and space It forms when electrons detach from atoms, creating ions and free electrons, a state that can conduct electricity and exhibits complex behaviors
