: I was under the impression that the flame in fire was an example of what physicists call 'plasma' - it's not a gas, or a iquid, or a solid but some fourth state of matter. And, if so, it's pretty common on earth.
You're correct about plasma being the most common form of matter/energy, but that is out in space, this state is actually no very common on a planetary surface.
