In order to determine the behavior and usefulness of the plasma, we have to take into account:
- The type of atoms in the plasma
- The ratio of ionized particles to neutral particles
- The particle energies
These unique behaviors and usefulness result in different types of plasma, characteristics and behaviors which causes them to be useful in several applications in our daily lives and other appearances around the world.
Uses in our daily life:
- Neon Lights
- Fluorescent Lamps
- Tesla Coil - A form of induction coil for producing high-frequency alternating currents

Other appearances:
- Lightning
- Aurora - A natural light display in the sky, seen in the Arctic and Antarctic regions.
- Solar Wind - A stream of charged particles, mainly electrons and protons, flowing outward from the sun, through the solar system at speeds as high as 900 km/s and at a temperature of 1 million degrees Celsius.
- Stars
- Interstellar clouds - Accumulation of gas, plasma, and dust in galaxies.
