In this interactive, adjust the temperature and pressure of three common substances and watch them morph into different states of matter.
In this interactive, get a taste of temperatures from absolute zero to absolute hot, and see why, for instance, even the core of the sun is relatively "chilly" compared to what many physicists believe the temperature of the universe was an instant after the Big Bang.
