I have read that most stars are made mostly of plasma. My questions in this statement are:
Are there stars not made of plasma?
In what percentage stars are made of plasma?

A basic effect of the motion of charges is that electromagnetic radiation is created, i.e. light and thus stars certainly have plasma because they are called stars for being stationary sources of light in the night sky, in contrast to planets. The sun in the center of the solar system is a star and allows us to study the composition of stars, including the evident plasma. ......
you ask:
They are all plasma, i.e neutral ionized matter, even the core, because of the very large kinetic energies acquired in the formation from the primordial plasma due to the gravitational attraction .
This very high temperature does not allow nuclei and electrons to stabilize into neutral atoms, and even at that high density the core is a plasma. The temporary formation of neutral nuclei gives spectral lines detectable in the star's spectrum, but the temperatures are so high that no solid core can result. The amount of neutral atoms in a plasma is very small, and is controlled by the relevant equations, as was pointed out in the comments. The planetary masses cooled off enough to acquire a solid core. |
