Jupiter's magnetosphere contains a material called plasma. What is it that makes plasma different from other states of matter, such as normal solids, liquids, or gases?   a In a plasma, small droplets of liquid are scattered throughout a solid material. b A plasma is an ultra-cold state of matter, only a few degrees warmer than absolute zero. c In a plasma, electrons have been stripped away from the atomic nuclei. d A plasma is an ultra-dense liquid whose electrons are very tightly bound to the atomic nuclei.
