How states of matter transform: Solid, liquid, and gas
1,000,000,001 − 1,000,000,000 = 1
Two pie charts compare the universe's matter-energy content: 13.8 billion years ago, dark matter made up 63%, photons 15%, atoms 12%, and neutrinos 10%. Today, dark energy dominates at 69.4%, with dark matter at 26.1% and atoms at 4.5%. Diagram showing the phase changes of matter with three circles labeled solid, liquid, and gas. Arrows indicate transitions: melting and freezing between solid and liquid, evaporation and condensation between liquid and gas, and sublimation and deposition between solid and gas.
