Space plasmas are ionized gases found in various environments in space, including the solar wind, planetary atmospheres, and the interstellar medium. A plasma is a state of matter in which a significant portion of the particles are charged, meaning they consist of ions and free electrons. As a result, plasmas can conduct electricity and respond to magnetic fields, making them fundamentally different from gases.
