Answer to Problem 54A

Plasma on earth is cooler and less dense than the plasma on sun.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction: Plasma is a state of matter that contains free charged particles, like ions and electrons.

The sun is made of plasma. The plasma of sun is hotter than the plasma on earth. Not only the temperature varies of both the plasma, but also the volume is different of both the plasma. Plasma of sun is denser than plasma of earth.

Conclusion:Plasma of sun is hotter and denser than the plasma on earth.
