The state of matter that best describes the elements inside stars is plasma. Plasma is a high-energy state in which atoms are ionized, meaning that electrons are stripped away from their nuclei. In stars, extreme temperatures and pressures cause hydrogen and helium (the primary elements) to exist in a plasma state, allowing nuclear fusion to occur, which powers the star and generates energy. Plasma is often referred to as the fourth state of matter, distinct from solids, liquids, and gases.
