   Is fire a gas or a solid?

   • Combustion resulting in fire can only occur between gases (liquid or solid fuels must first be vaporised for there to be a flame) and that gives us our first clue as to how to categorise fire – it’s a gas, right? Gas, liquid or solid?

   Is fire a liquid or gas?

   • This fact eliminates the slightest possibility of fire being a solid, liquid, or gas. All types of fire gradually die out and cannot continue to exist in their natural state forever, unlike the above. For example, a funeral pyre would eventually die out if it was not constantly furnished with oxygen and flammable material.

   Is fire a gas or a flame?

   • Like a gas, it expands to fill the volume in which it’s contained, whereas a flame does not. But what we can conclude (for now) is that, of the fundamental states of matter, fire is most like a plasma. In fact, some very hot flames do contain plasma – when the energy inside them is sufficient to ionise enough of the air molecules.

   Why does fire not fall into a solid?

   • Solids hold their shape, but if you were to try to pick up a flame, your hand would pass straight through it. And then probably hurt quite a bit. There’s also another reason why fire doesn’t fall into any of the above: once the fuel or oxygen is exhausted, fire ceases to exist. But that isn’t the case for solids, liquids or gases.

   Does fire have a definite shape or volume?

   • Like gas, it does not have a definite shape or volume, unless it is enclosed in an appropriate container. The visible conflagration that one witnesses is simply gas that is still reacting and providing illumination. However, fire doesn’t expand evenly like other gases in a given closed container.

   Does plasma resemble a gas?

   • Plasma resembles a gas more than any other state of matter, but it behaves very differently from a gas. Every object that has ever existed on this planet can be classified into three basic states of matter: solid, liquid or gas. That’s what we were told to believe in our science classes, right? But… what about fire?

   Oct 19, 2023 · The state of fire is plasma (mostly). Science cannot precisely describe the true nature of fire, but to clear up the doubts of inquisitive minds, fire is most similar to plasma! Plasma resembles a gas more than any other state of matter, but it behaves very differently from a gas.

   Gas, liquid or solid? Well, a flame certainly has many of the properties of a gas: it has no fixed shape or volume, expanding and contracting as oxygen is added or taken away. But one of the defining characteristics of a gas is its ability to expand to fill any container it’s put in. Fire doesn’t do this, which instantly disqualifies it ...
