I understand there are 4 states of matter. Solid, liquid, gaseous, and plasma.
So my question is: in what state is fire???
I’ve done some googling, and apparently this question is a little hard to answer. It takes on some properties from three states, but is technically none of them.
Please someone put me out of my misery and educate this poor stupid human.

Fire is a gas.
When you heat ANYTHING to a specific temperature, it gives off light of a specific color.
Fire is just gas that is hot enough to give off red/orange/yellow light.
Since it is giving off visible light and the air around isnt, you can see it, and it looks special, but it is really just hot gas.
