how does the motion of particles in the suns plasma compare to the motion of particles in a solid?
particles in both the plasma and a solid move around to fill available space.
particles in the plasma move randomly, but particles in a solid vibrate in one place.
particles in the plasma have low kinetic energy, but particles in a solid have high kinetic energy.
particles in both the plasma and a solid are made up of fast-moving electrons and cations.

Explanation:

Plasma is a state of matter with high-energy, freely moving charged particles (random motion). Solids have particles tightly packed in fixed positions, only vibrating in place. The other options are incorrect: solids do not fill available space, plasmas have high kinetic energy, and solids are not made of fast-moving electrons/cations.

Answer:

Particles in the plasma move randomly, but particles in a solid vibrate in one place.
